Radiofrequency Vein Closure (RFA) at Elyzee Hospital
Radiofrequency Vein Closure (RFA) is a minimally invasive endovenous procedure used to treat varicose veins and chronic venous insufficiency by sealing diseased veins using controlled thermal energy. At Elyzee Hospital in Abu Dhabi, RFA is performed under the specialty of Vascular and Endovascular Surgery, offering patients a safe, effective, and long-lasting solution for venous disorders.
Understanding Venous Insufficiency and Varicose Veins
Varicose veins develop when vein valves fail to function properly, allowing blood to flow backward and pool in the legs. This leads to symptoms such as leg pain, heaviness, swelling, fatigue, skin discoloration, and visible bulging veins. Chronic venous insufficiency, if left untreated, may progress to skin changes and venous ulcers.
Elyzee Hospital emphasizes early diagnosis and targeted treatment to restore healthy circulation and prevent disease progression.
What Is Radiofrequency Vein Closure (RFA)?
Radiofrequency Vein Closure is an advanced endovenous technique in which a thin catheter is inserted into the affected vein under ultrasound guidance. Controlled radiofrequency energy is delivered to heat the vein wall, causing it to collapse and seal shut. The body then naturally reroutes blood to healthy veins, improving circulation and relieving symptoms.
Minimally Invasive Procedure with Advanced Technology
At Elyzee Hospital, RFA is performed using state-of-the-art radiofrequency systems that ensure precise energy delivery and minimal tissue damage. The procedure is carried out under local anesthesia, does not require surgical incisions, and significantly reduces postoperative discomfort compared to traditional vein surgery.
Faster Recovery and Minimal Downtime
Radiofrequency vein closure is typically completed within a short outpatient session. Patients can walk immediately after the procedure and return to daily activities quickly. Elyzee Hospital provides detailed post-procedure guidance, including compression therapy, to support optimal healing and long-term results.
Medical and Aesthetic Benefits of RFA
RFA effectively relieves symptoms such as pain, swelling, and heaviness while reducing the appearance of varicose veins. The treatment improves blood circulation, lowers the risk of venous complications, and delivers excellent cosmetic outcomes. Elyzee Hospital focuses on combining vascular health improvement with refined aesthetic results.
Comprehensive Evaluation and Personalized Treatment
Prior to treatment, patients undergo thorough venous assessment, including duplex ultrasound mapping, to identify vein anatomy and reflux patterns. Elyzee Hospital’s vascular specialists develop individualized treatment plans aligned with international guidelines and UAE healthcare standards.
