Varicose vein treatment · Walk-in walk-out · Local anaesthetic
Radiofrequency ablation (RFA) is a minimally invasive procedure suitable for treating trunk varicose veins. The process is often used in conjunction with Ultrasound-Guided Foam Sclerotherapy (UGFS) as part of our Endovenous ablation plan to effectively treat both trunk and superficial varicose veins in one sitting.
RFA is a walk-in-walk-out procedure performed under local anaesthetic, taking less than an hour. It uses radiofrequency energy to heat the vein wall so that it collapses, closes and seals. Your body will eventually absorb the treated vein.
NICE recommends RFA as the first-line treatment for varicose veins. Benefits include minimal scarring, less invasive than surgery, faster recovery, and less painful than EVLA (endovenous laser ablation).
In most cases, you can return home and to normal daily activities immediately after treatment. Other than wearing compression hosiery for around three weeks, no other aftercare is required.
Fixed price package from £2,400 — includes consultation, scans, treatment, stockings and follow-up.
