Understanding Radiofrequency Ablation (RFA) Treatment
Radiofrequency ablation, or RFA, is a minimally invasive treatment designed to tackle vein-related issues and assist with pain management. Our clinic exclusively uses Radiofrequency Ablation to treat varicose veins and spider veins, ensuring that you receive the best possible care.
The treatment utilizes radio waves to create currents in a small area of the nerve tissue. This heat destroys the affected nerve area, stopping it from sending pain signals to the brain. Additionally, you can also benefit from Radiofrequency Ablation for back pain and arthritic joints.
The primary intent behind Radiofrequency Ablation treatment is to target the diseased tissue associated with spider veins and damage it with the heat from radio waves. The doctor starts the procedure by inserting a small needle into the pain-targeted nerve.
Next, they insert an electrode attached to the needle’s top, which sends radio waves to the targeted nerve. The heat will create lesions, preventing the affected nerve from sending pain signals to the brain. The best part of this treatment is that it does not harm any adjoining healthy nerve, ensuring a quick recovery.
The Radiofrequency Ablation procedure can take anywhere from fifteen minutes to two hours, depending on the severity of your case and the number of affected nerves. Our doctors recommend resting for at least a day after the treatment and avoiding physically demanding tasks.
You might occasionally experience muscle spasms, soreness, or pain at the treatment site, but this discomfort typically subsides within a couple of days. In case you experience any severe pain, our experts can prescribe appropriate pain management medications. You may also consider using ice packs to reduce swelling in the affected area.
At Star Veins & Aesthetics, we are committed to providing comprehensive aesthetics services alongside advanced vein treatments. Let us help you regain comfort and confidence in your legs today!
