Laser Treatment for Varicose Veins (EVLA)
A laser fibre inserted into the faulty vein through a needle puncture heats and seals it; blood reroutes through healthy veins.
Radiofrequency Ablation (RFA) for Varicose Veins
A radiofrequency catheter heats and closes the faulty vein from inside, similar to laser treatment.
Sclerotherapy
A solution or foam is injected into small varicose or spider veins, causing them to close and fade.
