Frequently Asked Questions
How long do these procedures take?
Most treatments take about 30-60 minutes, depending on the number and size of veins being treated.
What are vein ablation, Venaseal, and RFA?
These are minimally invasive treatments for varicose veins and chronic venous insufficiency. Vein ablation is a general term for procedures that close off problematic veins. Venaseal is a specific type of vein ablation that uses medical adhesive to seal veins. RFA (Radiofrequency Ablation) uses heat from radio waves to close off veins.
What types of vein ablation does Cypress Cardiovascular Institute offer?
We offer both Venaseal and Radiofrequency Ablation (RFA). Our specialists will recommend the best option based on your individual needs.
What is the Venaseal procedure?
Venaseal uses a medical-grade adhesive to seal off problematic veins. A small catheter is inserted into the vein, and the adhesive is applied to close it.
What are the advantages of Venaseal?
Venaseal doesn’t require multiple needle sticks, eliminates the need for compression stockings post-procedure, and allows for a quicker return to normal activities.
Is RFA suitable for everyone?
While RFA is suitable for many patients, it may not be recommended for those with certain medical conditions or very small veins. Our specialists will determine if you’re a good candidate.
Will I need to wear compression stockings after treatment?
This depends on the procedure. Venaseal typically doesn’t require compression stockings, while they may be recommended for a short period after RFA.
Are the results permanent?
The treated veins are permanently closed. However, new varicose veins may develop over time. Maintaining a healthy lifestyle can help prevent new varicose veins from forming.
How do I know if I’m a candidate for these treatments?
The best way to determine if you’re a candidate is to schedule a consultation with one of our vein specialists. They will evaluate your condition and recommend the most appropriate treatment option.
Are these procedures painful?
These procedures are generally well-tolerated. You may experience some discomfort, but local anesthesia is used to minimize pain during the treatment.
What is the recovery time?
Recovery is typically quick. Most patients can return to normal activities within 1-2 days, although strenuous exercise should be avoided for about two weeks.
How effective is vein ablation?
Vein ablation is highly effective, with success rates of 90-95% for treated veins.
Is Venaseal safe?
Yes, Venaseal is FDA-approved and has been shown to be safe and effective in clinical studies.
How does RFA work?
RFA uses heat generated by radio waves to damage the vein walls, causing them to collapse and seal shut. The body then naturally redirects blood flow to healthy veins.
What are the side effects of RFA?
Common side effects are mild and may include bruising, swelling, and temporary numbness. Serious complications are rare.
How soon will I see results?
Many patients notice improvement in symptoms within a few days, but full results may take a few weeks to become apparent.
Are these procedures covered by insurance?
Many insurance plans cover these treatments when deemed medically necessary. We recommend checking with your insurance provider or calling our office for specific coverage details.
