Endovenous Ablation & Occlusion for Varicose Veins
Minimally Invasive Varicose Vein Treatment at EPIC Heart & Vascular Center
At EPIC Heart & Vascular Center, we offer advanced Endovenous Ablation & Occlusion procedures near you to treat varicose veins effectively and with minimal discomfort. Our board-certified vein specialists use this non-surgical technique to close off faulty veins, restore healthy circulation, and relieve symptoms like leg pain, swelling, and heaviness.
What Is Endovenous Ablation & Occlusion?
Endovenous Ablation & Occlusion is a minimally invasive procedure that uses laser or radiofrequency energy to seal off abnormal veins. This technique diverts blood flow to healthy veins, improving circulation and reducing the appearance and discomfort of varicose veins. The treatment is safe, efficient, and performed under local anesthesia in an outpatient setting.
Common Reasons for Endovenous Treatment:
-
Painful or bulging varicose veins
-
Leg heaviness or fatigue
-
Swelling in the legs or ankles
-
Nighttime leg cramps
-
Skin discoloration or ulcers
-
Cosmetic improvement of leg veins
How the Procedure Works
During the procedure, a thin catheter is inserted into the affected vein through a small incision. Using ultrasound guidance, energy is delivered through the catheter to heat and collapse the vein wall. The treated vein is gradually absorbed by the body, while nearby healthy veins take over blood flow. The entire process takes about 30–60 minutes and offers fast recovery with little to no downtime.
