Vein ablation is a minimally invasive treatment that gently closes unhealthy veins to improve circulation and reduce symptoms like heaviness, swelling, or aching in your legs. At Midwest Institute for Non-Surgical Therapy, you can receive advanced, image-guided care that helps redirect blood flow to healthier veins for lasting relief. As you move toward better vascular health, other aspects of your personal care may also support your comfort and long-term well-being.
Vein ablation works by using laser or radiofrequency energy to seal the problematic vein. This helps alleviate pressure in the legs while improving symptoms associated with venous insufficiency or varicose veins. The procedure is quick, effective, and requires little downtime.
How Vein Ablation Works
During vein ablation, your provider:
- Uses ultrasound to guide a small catheter into the affected vein
- Delivers controlled heat (laser or radiofrequency) through the catheter
- Gently seals the vein, allowing blood to reroute through healthier vessels
The procedure typically lasts about 20 minutes, and most people return to their normal activities the next day.
