A very important point. Venous disease is more than cosmesis.

🦵 A small sore on your leg could be more serious than you think. Venous stasis ulcers—open wounds caused by poor circulation can signal deeper vein disease that can worsen without care.

💡 The good news: modern, minimally invasive treatments restore circulation and heal wounds faster, all in an outpatient setting.

If you notice leg swelling, discoloration, or a wound that won’t heal, don’t wait!

📅 Schedule a consultation with a board-certified vein specialist at Center for Vein Restoration today and take the first step toward healthy legs.

Radiofrequency Ablation is more expensive than Sclerotherapy . What makes it worth the expense and why is it better?

Radiofrequency ablation (RFA) costs more than sclerotherapy, but offers advantages that make it a superior option for many patients suffering from significant varicose veins.

Why RFA Is Worth the Expense

• Higher long-term success: RFA has a much higher long-term vein closure success rate compared to sclerotherapy, especially for large trunk veins like the great saphenous vein. Studies show above 98% closure rates for RFA at 1–2 years, while sclerotherapy may require repeat treatments for persistent reflux or recurrence.

• Durability: Sclerotherapy works well for smaller veins and cosmetic improvement, but has higher failure rates and recurrence for major superficial veins. RFA, by comparison, delivers consistent results for larger veins and underlying venous insufficiency.

• Minimally invasive with faster recovery: RFA is a walk-in, walk-out procedure with quick recovery, minimal pain, and no scars, allowing most patients to return to normal activity within 48 hours.

Patient Benefits
• RFA eliminates the root cause of venous reflux, reducing risk of complications like ulcers and recurrence, while giving excellent cosmetic and functional results.
• Patients with large, symptomatic varicose veins gain a more definitive treatment compared to repeated sclerotherapy, which is ideal for smaller veins or touch-ups.
For these reasons, RFA is often recommended for serious venous disease where durable closure, fewer repeat procedures, and quality-of-life improvement are priorities.
