Quick Relief, Lasting Results
What is RF Ablation?
RF Ablation, or radiofrequency ablation, is a minimally invasive treatment designed to close damaged or diseased veins that cause discomfort, swelling, or varicose veins.
At NJ Vein Care and Aesthetics Center in Clifton, New Jersey, vascular surgeon Gary Nackman, MD, FACS, uses this advanced technology to restore healthy blood flow in the legs. The procedure targets veins with malfunctioning valves, allowing blood to reroute naturally to healthier veins. RF Ablation is highly effective, safe, and performed with minimal discomfort, making it a preferred option for many patients.
This treatment can help relieve aching, heaviness, fatigue, and swelling associated with venous insufficiency. Recovery is typically quick, allowing patients to return to daily activities sooner than with traditional surgical options. Because it is minimally invasive, RF Ablation reduces scarring and downtime. Patients often notice improvement in both the function and appearance of their legs after treatment.

How RF Ablation Works
RF Ablation works by delivering controlled radiofrequency energy directly into the affected vein through a small catheter.
This energy heats the vein walls, causing them to collapse and seal shut. Once the diseased vein is closed, blood naturally reroutes to surrounding healthy veins, improving circulation and reducing symptoms. The procedure is performed under local anesthesia with minimal discomfort, and small punctures are used instead of large incisions.
Ultrasound guidance ensures precision, targeting only the problematic veins while preserving healthy circulation. The body gradually absorbs the closed vein over time, leaving no trace of the treated vessel. Compression stockings are typically worn after the procedure to support healing and enhance results. Follow-up visits allow Dr. Nackman to monitor progress and ensure the best possible outcome.
