Varicose vein ablation is generally safe, but potential issues can include pain, swelling, skin discoloration, numbness, skin burns, and a small risk of deep vein thrombosis.

It depends on the kind of ablation. Generally thermal ablations like laser and radio frequency can cause some pain . All ablations have a small risk of giving deep vein clots
