Radiofrequency Occlusion in Denver, CO
Radiofrequency occlusion is a treatment for varicose veins that reduces their appearance by removing them. It is an alternative to surgical removal, and is less invasive that surgical treatment. Radiofrequency occlusion works by heating the vein with a catheter, which closes the vein. The procedure has a high success rate and a low incidence of complications and side effects.
During the procedure, a vascular specialist uses an ultrasound image to map the vein's size and location, and then numbs the area with local anesthesia. A needle is then inserted into one end of the vein, and a radiofrequency emitting catheter is threaded into the vein. The catheter is heated inside the vein, and slowly drawn through the vein, causing it to close.
The recovery time after radiofrequency occlusion is short, and most patients can resume normal activities soon after treatment. The procedure causes less bruising than other, more invasive procedures, and gives better cosmetic results because only one single puncture is necessary for the treatment.
The cost for radiofrequency occlusion can vary, and is determined by the extent of varicose veins and the number of veins that need to be treated. For a consultation, including the cost of treatment for you, visit a vascular specialist today.
