A varicose vein ablation is a minimally invasive treatment that helps ablate and destroy the diseased saphenous veins which are responsible for your vein problems. For chronic venous insufficiencies, varicose veins, the root cause of spider veins and many other vein problems, it is one of the most effective minimally invasive treatments.
PROCEDURE FOR VARICOSE VEIN ABLATION:
The procedure for varicose vein ablation starts with insertion of a specialized catheter into the diseased vein to channel thermal or laser energy, which helps to destroy or damage the diseased vein that is responsible for your vein problems. The procedure of varicose vein ablation is an in-office and minimally invasive procedure. Usually, it takes an hour of time, without causing any pain and discomfort. It also involves negligible risk of complications and doesn’t need any downtime.
Post procedure, you can do most of your daily work and activities immediately. This procedure of varicose vein ablation does not have any harsh side effects or complications. The best thing is that it has a nearly perfect 97% success rate and no risk of reoccurrence of vein disease in the future. It simply means that after a procedure of vein ablation, you do not need to worry about the same varicose vein problems returning.
TYPES OF VARICOSE VEIN ABLATION PROCEDURE:
There are mainly two types of varicose vein ablation, which are:
1. LASER ABLATION: In laser ablation, the doctor or specialist uses a specialized laser fibre to generate laser energy. It gives you similar results as any other ablation procedure but it just causes a bit more discomfort as compared to the rest of the ablation procedures.
2. RADIOFREQUENCY ABLATION: Radiofrequency ablation works with the help of a radiofrequency energy that destroys the diseased vein. In this, the doctor inserts a catheter and generates radiofrequency waves, which convert into thermal energy and burn the diseased vein.
BENEFITS OF VARICOSE VEIN ABLATION:
The main benefits of varicose vein ablation which everyone wants from a ablation procedure are:
1. Minimally invasive.
2. No harsh side effects.
3. Involves negligible risks.
4. No recurrence.
5. More comfortable and efficient.
6. The cost for this procedure is similar to any other procedure but it provides better results and benefits.
