VENOUS ABLATIONS
Venous ablations are procedures used to seal leaky veins that cause varicose veins, swelling, and pain in the legs. Endovenous radiofrequency vein ablation (RFA) and microfoam ablation (Varithena) are used to seal
leaky veins causing varicose veins, leg swelling, and pain. One or more treatments may be necessary. You will be able to resume most activities right after the procedures.
- Most insurance companies require a 6wk to 3mo trial of MEDICAL COMPRESSION STOCKINGS (and sometimes analgesics) before deeming venous procedures medically necessary.

RADIOFREQUENCY ENDOVENOUS ABLATION
As a true expert in Radiofrequency vein Ablations (RFA), Dr. Puggioni has been using this method for the past 20 years. The thermal ablation process involves delivering a radio wave through a catheter and then transmitting heat to the vein walls.
During the days and weeks following treatment, the sealed veins gradually disappear and are reabsorbed into the body.
RESULTS ARE NOT IMMEDIATE.
VARITHENA FOAM ENDOVENOUS ABLATION
The priorietory polidocanol injection foam called Varithena® treats larger varicose veins. Dr. Puggioni has been using foam sclerotherapy for over 20 years. Using a catheter or direct injection, the doctor administers it into the malfunctioning vein. The diseased vein collapses and the foam is deactivated. This treatment is minimally invasive, non-surgical. RESULTS ARE NOT IMMEDIATE.
