Understanding varicose veins

Varicose veins develop when the valves in your veins, which help blood flow back to the heart, weaken or fail. This causes blood to pool in the affected veins, leading to their enlargement, twisting, and the appearance of bluish lines just beneath the skin. In addition to being a cosmetic concern, varicose veins can cause swelling, itchy skin, and discomfort, particularly in the legs and ankles. While this condition can worsen over time, our expert care offers proven, effective treatments to provide lasting relief and restore your comfort.

Advanced solutions: Radiofrequency ablation

At St. Joseph's/Candler Vascular Surgery, we use a low-impact, non-surgical procedure called Radiofrequency Ablation to treat varicose veins. This quick, in-office treatment targets the source of the problem—the Great Saphenous vein—by using radiofrequency energy to shut off the vein. This results in reduced visibility of varicose veins with little to no discomfort and a fast recovery time. Most patients can return to their normal activities the next day.

Our experienced team at St. Joseph’s/Candler Vascular Surgery specializes in delivering cutting-edge, precision-based care for varicose veins. With decades of expertise and the latest in less invasive techniques, we ensure you receive effective treatment with the highest standard of care.

Radiofrequency Ablation is performed under local anesthesia and is designed to effectively treat the Great Saphenous vein, the primary source of many visible varicose veins. This gentle, targeted procedure offers excellent results with minimal discomfort, making it a trusted option for quick and lasting relief.
