Endovenous ablation, in general, is a varicose vein treatment.
This type of treatment involves the insertion of a special catheter into the vein. Specific types of energy are then delivered to the vein to close the vein. Varicose veins are veins that are often painful and occur as a result of a leak in a vein. This causes blood to pool, which can be uncomfortable and create an unpleasant appearance.
Laser ablation is a type of endovenous ablation.
During this ablation treatment Annapolis vein specialists apply laser energy is delivered to the vein. This energy is delivered in pulses after the catheter has been administered. Ultrasound technology is used to create a map of the veins on the legs. This helps indicate specific areas of concern on the vein to focus on during treatment.
Radiofrequency ablation is another method of endovenous ablation. This method utilizes the heat of high frequency radiofrequency waves. A catheter is inserted into the vein to allow for the delivery of these waves. Radiofrequency ablation may be performed in addition to other varicose vein treatments for enhanced results. This treatment is also often recommended for larger veins.

Instead, this closure system uses a catheter to apply medical adhesive to the vein wall to close the vein. This may be a good varicose vein treatment for those who are hesitant to pursue ablation treatments utilizing heat or energy. It is a safe and effective alternative for achieving results.
