Laser and radiofrequency (RF) methods are the most commonly used intravenous catheter methods. They are used in the treatment of large and medium-sized veins. They are performed in operating room conditions, using tumescent anaesthesia. The surgical technique used in both methods is the same and is called laser or radiofrequency (RF) ablation depending on the source of the heat generated. To simplify for better understanding, the application techniques for laser or radiofrequency for varicose vein treatment are mostly the same, with the most important difference being the diverse source of energy used.<\/p>\n

In the endovenous laser ablation (EVLA<\/em>) method, laser heat is transmitted to the vein wall via a thin fiber optic cable or catheter placed in the main varicose vein (great saphenous vein<\/em>). The laser light heats and destroys the vein wall, causing the vein to close and disappear over time. With ultrasound guidance, the catheter is inserted into the vein below the knee with a needle and the vein is burned from the inside with the laser. In this method, the vein is not removed, it remains in place, but it is aimed to make the diseased vein disappear by burning from the inside. No incision is made in this method. If the patient has local large varicosities, the excision surgery (mini-phlebectomy) to remove them is performed. In this case, there may be small incisions due to the larger varicosities.<\/p>\n

Endovenous radiofrequency ablation (EVRF<\/em>) is a method of closing varicose veins by heating their inner walls using radiofrequency energy. The heat generated by radiofrequency waves is transmitted to the vein wall via a thin fiber optic cable or catheter placed in the main varicose vein (great saphenous vein<\/em>). This energy heats and destroys the vein wall, causing the vein to close and disappear over time. Under ultrasound guidance, the catheter is inserted into the vein below the knee level with a needle and the vein is burned from the inside with radiofrequency heat. In this method, the vein is not removed, it remains in place, but it is aimed to make the diseased vein disappear by burning from the inside. No incision is made in this method. If the patient has local large varicosities, the excision surgery (mini-phlebectomy) to remove them is performed. In this case, there may be small incisions due to the larger varicosities.<\/p>\n

Laser and radiofrequency (RF) varicose vein treatment may be painless or temporarily minimally painful. However, the effectiveness of the treatment and the recovery process may vary depending on the patient’s individual condition, the severity and prevalence of varicose veins, and the patient’s general health. After treatment, compression stockings or bandages may be recommended for a certain period to reduce swelling and support blood flow in the veins. In the first few days, mild swelling, bruising, and mild pain in the treated area are normal and usually temporary. During this period, rest and light exercises such as walking are recommended.<\/p>\n

Regular follow-up and check-ups are performed after treatment. According to your doctor’s instructions, physical examinations and if necessary, imaging tests (doppler ultrasound<\/em>) may be performed at certain intervals. These tests are useful for evaluating the effectiveness of the treatment and detecting possible complications early.<\/p>\n

Treatment results are usually more noticeable over time. In the post-operative period, it is important to follow your doctor’s recommendations and control your lifestyle habits. These recommendations can help prevent varicose veins from reoccurring and maintain your general health.<\/p>\n
