No, they do not typically put you to sleep for vein ablation. The procedure is often done under local anesthesia or a combination of local anesthesia and conscious sedation. To learn more, connect with me at drjeromepuryear.com. Thank you!
no
Vein ablation is done either with sedation(sleep) or local anesthesia (awake).

Usually no. Local anesthesia is the most common method.
I do not use general anesthesia for varicose vein procedures. I have patients take a mild sedative 2 hours before the start time, so they are relaxed, but awake.
Local anesthesia is usually used for vein ablation.
Not usually.
