Radiofrequency Ablation (RFA) in Olathe & Overland Park, KS
Find Relief from Varicose Veins
Enjoy improved comfort, better circulation, and smoother-looking legs with a minimally invasive treatment that gets you back to your routine quickly.
What is Radiofrequency Ablation (RFA)?
At Vein-ity Vein Care Centers of Kansas, we offer Radiofrequency Ablation, a minimally invasive procedure using heat to gently close varicose veins, relieving symptoms and restoring the natural beauty of your legs.
Are you tired of dealing with the discomfort and unsightly appearance of varicose veins? Imagine finally being able to move with ease and confidence, without worrying about the pain or embarrassment caused by those bulging veins. Radiofrequency Ablation, or RFA, is a state-of-the-art procedure designed to treat varicose veins by using heat generated from radiofrequency energy.
This energy is delivered directly into the vein through a small catheter, causing the walls of the vein to collapse and seal shut. Once the vein is closed off, blood is naturally redirected to healthier veins, improving circulation and reducing the appearance of the varicose veins. RFA is not only effective but also minimally invasive, meaning you can get back to your daily life quickly—with little to no downtime.

How the RFA Procedure Works
Here’s what you can expect when you choose RFA at Vein-ity:
- Consultation: We start with a thorough consultation and examination to determine the extent of your varicose veins and confirm that RFA is the right treatment for you.
- Preparation: On the day of the procedure, we’ll apply a local anaesthetic to ensure you’re comfortable during the treatment and you will be offered Pro-Nox™ as an option to ease any anxiety you may be experiencing.
- Procedure: We put together a salt water solution and then inject it around the affected vein through a small catheter. Radiofrequency energy is then delivered through the catheter, heating the vein walls and causing them to collapse and seal shut.
- Post-Procedure: Once the vein is closed, blood will naturally reroute through healthier veins, and the treated vein will be absorbed by your body over time.

What Causes Varicose Veins?
Varicose veins develop when the valves inside the veins weaken or fail to function properly, allowing blood to flow backward and collect in the veins. This buildup increases pressure, causing the veins to enlarge and become visible beneath the skin.
Several factors can contribute to the development of varicose veins:
- Family history of vein conditions
- Prolonged periods of standing or sitting
- Hormonal changes
- Aging
- Pregnancy
Addressing the underlying cause is an important step in selecting the most effective treatment.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is RFA painful?
RFA is minimally invasive and well tolerated. Most patients feel little to no pain during the procedure due to local anesthesia, with only mild soreness afterward.
Will my varicose veins return after RFA?
The treated vein is permanently closed and does not return. However, new varicose veins can develop over time due to underlying venous disease.
What is the recovery time after treatment?
Recovery is quick. Most patients return to normal daily activities the same day or within 24 hours.
Is RFA safe?
Yes. RFA is a safe, FDA-approved procedure with a strong track record and low complication rates when performed by a trained specialist.
What happens to the treated vein after RFA?
The vein is sealed shut and gradually absorbed by the body, with blood naturally rerouted to healthier veins.
When will the results become noticeable (physical and cosmetic)?
Symptom relief often begins within days to weeks. Cosmetic improvement continues over several weeks to months as the vein is reabsorbed.
What activities should be avoided after treatment?
Avoid heavy lifting, strenuous exercise, and prolonged standing for about 1 week. Walking is encouraged immediately after treatment.
