At St. Clair Vein & Embolization Center (formerly Three Rivers Vein Center), we specialize in providing comprehensive care for varicose veins and related conditions. Our team of experienced medical professionals is dedicated to restoring your health and improving your quality of life through the latest treatments available, including radiofrequency ablation (RFA), which is used to treat varicose veins.
RFA is a minimally invasive vein ablation procedure that uses radiofrequency energy to close diseased veins, removing them from the circulatory system. During radiofrequency vein treatment, a small device is inserted into the vein and radiofrequency energy heats the walls of the vein, causing them to collapse and seal shut permanently. An RFA vein procedure is an effective alternative to traditional surgical procedures for treating varicose veins as it does not require general anesthesia or long recovery times.
The experts at St. Clair Vein & Embolization Center use state-of-the-art equipment when performing RFA so patients can be assured that they are getting the highest quality care available. We are committed to helping those suffering from varicose veins get back on their feet quickly so they can return to living life free from pain and discomfort caused by this condition.

Radiofrequency vein ablation (Venefit closure) is a minimally invasive procedure that involves inserting a small tube (catheter) into a diseased vein. The catheter uses radiofrequency energy to heat and destroy the lining of the vein, causing a permanent closure. Closure of diseased veins relieves symptoms such as leg pain, heaviness and fatigue, among others.

An RFA procedure typically takes between one and two hours to complete. Afterward, you may be able to return to your normal activities right away.
Aftercare following an RFA procedure usually involves wearing compression stockings for a period of time and avoiding strenuous activities until you have been cleared by your doctor. You may also be advised to take medication or attend follow-up appointments if necessary.
In general, insurance companies that cover varicose vein treatments would also cover RFA procedures. However, it’s important to check with your insurance provider prior to booking an appointment in order to ascertain their exact coverage policy for this condition.
