Laser and Radiofrequency Ablation for Varicose Veins
This is our Phlebology (vein care) service, dedicated to the diagnosis and treatment of varicose veins. We offer minimally invasive, outpatient alternatives to traditional vein stripping, performed comfortably in our clinic. Our team introduced this advanced procedure to the country in 2005, and since then, it has become a preferred treatment option. Patients are able to walk immediately after the procedure and return home the same day, with minimal downtime.
Procedure
The treatment involves using ultrasound-guided techniques such as foam sclerotherapy, laser, or radiofrequency ablation to close off affected varicose veins. A fine catheter or needle is inserted into the vein, and a solution or thermal energy is applied to seal it shut. The procedure is performed under local anesthesia in an outpatient setting and typically lasts 30 to 60 minutes. It is minimally invasive, causes little to no scarring, and allows patients to walk immediately afterward and resume normal activities the same day.
