Endovenous Laser Ablation (EVLA) vs Radiofrequency Ablation (RFA) - how to choose which varicose vein treatment will work best for you? ⚖️ Both minimally-invasive procedures internally collapse problem veins, and redirect blood to healthier veins.
EVLA, using a laser, is typically more effective for larger veins. However, it can leave behind larger bruises for the healing process.
RFA is most effective for smaller veins, with varying results on larger varicose veins. This procedure typically leaves behind less bruising.
Your Refine Vein Center technician will be able to guide you on which procedure will treat your veins the best, with the least amount of discomfort.
