Endovenous Radio Frequency Ablation
Radio Frequency Ablation is an alternative treatment but in recent years, Endovenous laser Ablation has surpassed Radio Frequency vein ablation due to improved outcomes. Conceptually, it is similar to endovenous laser ablation but the delivered energy is RF energy instead of laser. At vein solutions we only use endovenous laser ablation , because the with follow up the closure rate is 99.5.% compare to radio ablation 96%
What are the possible complications if you do not have any treatment?
With large varicose veins, spontaneous blood clots may develop in the superficial veins and, more rarely, in the deep veins. Clots in the deep veins (deep vein thrombosis or DVT) can dislodge and travel to the lungs, which can cause pulmonary embolism a life-threatening condition. Skin changes, including increased or decreased pigmentation, hardening of the skin and underlying fat(lipodermatosclerosis) and ulcers, may develop in the lower legs. Ulcers may become weepy, infected and painful, and take longer to heal.
Spider veins may indicate an underlying vein disease, but otherwise are mainly a cosmetic concern.
Preventions
Change your diet
Practicing portion control, choosing healthier food options, and dining out at restaurants less are just a few of the ways you can change your diet. It’s no secret that weight loss can positively impact your overall health but losing weight can also lessen the pressure on your legs in particular in improved blood flow.
Exercise More
By walking for just 20 minutes a few times a week or taking the stairs instead of the elevator at work, can help the blood circulate in your legs and body.
Alternate between standing and sitting more
Prolonged periods of standing or sitting can negatively affect your vein health. Making the decision to shift between sitting and standing help with better blood circulation.
Wear looser-fitting
clothing
Wearing tight clothes can hinder blood flow, especially in the groin, thighs, and waist areas. Clothing that allows you greater range of motion will not only add to your comfort but to your overall vein health.
Medical compression stockings
Stockings help relieve the pain and swelling experienced by many patients with varicose veins of people whose work requires prolonged sitting or standing.
What kind of results are achieved?
Lifestyle changes may prevent new varicose veins from forming but won’t get rid of existing varicose veins. This treatment option is meant to help manage pain and reduce more varicose veins from forming.
