Vein Ablation

---

Vein ablation is a minimally invasive procedure used to treat varicose veins and chronic venous insufficiency. In simple terms, it involves using heat (from laser or radiofrequency energy) or a special chemical to close off unhealthy veins, redirecting blood flow to healthier veins. Over time, the treated vein shrinks and is absorbed by the body. This helps reduce symptoms like swelling, pain, and skin changes caused by poor circulation.

With 13 years of experience as a vascular surgery physician assistant, I have assisted in numerous vein ablation procedures and have seen firsthand how effective they are in improving patients’ quality of life. Whether performed for medical or cosmetic reasons, these treatments provide significant relief from discomfort and improve both function and appearance.
