Top Benefits of Varicose Vein Ablation

Varicose veins are more common than you might think, and unfortunately, they only worsen over time. If you have varicose veins, you might be wondering how you can minimise their appearance and/or alleviate symptoms associated with them. The only solution is to undergo varicose vein treatment—and at Lumina Interventional Radiology, we suggest varicose vein ablation.

This method is non-surgical and minimally invasive, involving a catheter that is inserted into the vein, delivering particles that close the vein, minimising its size and appearance.

There are many benefits to this procedure that you can take advantage of—so let’s explore them below!

Alleviates Symptoms

Varicose veins can lead to a range of symptoms that can affect your daily routines, including leg pain and stiffness. The risk of deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is also increased. By choosing varicose vein ablation, the varicose veins are closed, which will offer relief from such symptoms.

Fast Procedure

The procedure itself usually only takes around 40 minutes, which is quick and efficient compared to surgical methods. This means that you can be in and out of the procedure room in no time, allowing you to begin your recovery journey as soon as possible. Varicose vein ablation is painless and extremely safe, regarded as the gold standard of varicose vein treatment.

Minimally Invasive

This procedure is minimally invasive, only requiring a small incision that is not even categorised as minor surgery. Compared to surgery, there is no large wound to take care of, and while you may experience bruising and swelling after treatment, this will usually go away after a few days. The procedure itself is low risk.

Rapid Recovery

Recovery time is also swift, with patients being able to simply walk out right after the treatment! There is little to no pain after treatment, and in many cases, patients can return to their normal activities within several days.
