Our State of The Art Services:
Radiofrequency Ablation
Superficial venous reflux disease treatment aims to reduce or stop the backward flow of blood. Radiofrequency ablation (also known as the ClosureFast procedure) is one of several non-surgical treatments that our clinic offers for varicose veins and incompetent perforator veins. Radiofrequency ablation procedure is performed in our office and is generally covered by most insurance.
The VENCLOSE™ Procedure
How Radiofrequency Ablation Works
Using ultrasound, your physician will position the catheter into the diseased vein through a small opening in the skin. The small catheter delivers heat to the vein wall, causing it to shrink and the vein to seal closed. Once the diseased vein is closed, blood will reroute itself to other healthy veins. Following the procedure, a bandage is placed over the insertion site and additional compression may be provided to aid healing. As part of your treatment regimen and our way of ensuring you get the best results possible, you will be required to wear a compression stocking and asked to limit standing for long periods of time or participating in strenuous activities for two full weeks.

Varithena® Treatment
Varicose vein treatment involves injecting a microfoam that causes veins to close. Varithena is minimally invasive, and patients reporting pain at the injection or application site in clinical trials was 4.0%. There’s no need for incisions or stitches, and treatment is usually less than an hour. Most people only need a single treatment to see results.
Here’s What to Expect:
Before the treatment
- The physician usually numbs the injection site, but no additional anesthesia is required.
During treatment
- Your physician administers a small amount of Varithena.
- The Varithena microfoam fills the desired section of the vein and treats the vein wall, causing the diseased vein to collapse.
- Blood flow is redirected to healthier nearby veins. The microfoam disperses as it comes into contact with blood in healthy veins.
- Your physician uses the same process on any other veins that need treatment.
- The most common side effects are leg pain or discomfort, injection site bruising or pain, and potentially serious blood clots in the leg veins.
After treatment
- While allergic reactions are rare, a healthcare professional will watch you for signs of an allergic reaction for at least 10 minutes.
- Your physician applies bandages and compression stockings to your leg. You’ll wear the stockings for two weeks.
- Because Varithena is minimally invasive and well tolerated by most people, you’re likely to go back to most normal activities the same day.
- You should avoid heavy exercise for one week.
- For a month, you should walk at least 10 minutes a day and avoid long stretches of inactivity.
- Additional treatment sessions may be needed.
