How long is a varicose vein ablation?
Hi! My name is Nara, I’m a member of Dr. Lathan’s team of vein specialists. Our treatments, being minimally-invasive, typically take around 15-30 minutes to complete. This depends on the patient and severity of the varicosities being treated, but all treatments are performed in our clinics in a timely manner and patients can walk out of the clinic after their treatment, with no downtime. Speaking with a vein doctor directly will give you a better and more specific time estimate.

Is radiofrequency ablation painful for varicose veins?
Hello! My name is Nara, I'm a member of Dr. Lathan’s vein specialist team. Radiofrequency Ablation (RFA) is performed with the assistance of localized numbing, so at most you’ll feel some slight discomfort during the procedure. You should not experience pain. After your 15-minute treatment is finished, you’ll be able to walk out of our clinic and drive yourself home, with little downtime or "recovery time." Most patients are back to normal activity in just 24 hours.Temporary side-effects may include slight bruising, or tenderness but this resolves in a few days and can be aided by over the counter pain relievers.
