A vein ablation procedure may be an effective treatment option if you struggle with painful, swollen veins. This minimally invasive treatment is designed to close off damaged veins, improve circulation, and relieve swelling, heaviness, and discomfort. Vein ablation surgery is commonly performed to treat varicose veins and chronic venous insufficiency, preventing further complications and enhancing leg health. Dr. Amiel Moshfegh and his team are proud to offer advanced vein treatments tailored to each patient’s needs. Contact Southern California Vascular Institute in Bakersfield or Los Angeles, CA to learn more about how vein ablation can help you regain comfort and confidence in your legs.
How Is Vein Ablation Performed?
Varicose vein ablation is a minimally invasive procedure that uses heat or laser energy to close off damaged veins, redirecting blood flow to healthier veins. During the treatment, Dr. Amiel Moshfegh at Southern California Vascular Institute inserts a thin catheter into the affected vein, applying controlled energy to seal it shut. Patients can typically resume light activities the same day, and full vein ablation recovery takes just a few weeks.
