Varicose veins are more than a cosmetic concern—they can signal underlying vein disease or chronic venous insufficiency, leading to discomfort, pain, and serious health complications. At IBI Healthcare’s Advanced Vein Center, the Venefit™ Closure Procedure provides an effective, minimally invasive solution for closing diseased veins using radiofrequency energy.
This treatment allows patients to improve their vein health, reduce symptoms, and enhance their skin’s appearance, all while resuming their normal lives quickly. In this article, we’ll delve into the Venefit treatment, its benefits, and its role in modern varicose vein treatment.
What Are Varicose Veins?
Varicose veins occur when weakened vein valves disrupt normal blood flow, causing veins to enlarge and twist. These veins, commonly seen in the lower extremities, such as the legs, can result from prolonged standing, genetics, or age.
Recognizing the Symptoms of Problematic Veins
Symptoms of problematic varicose veins include:
-
Aching and painful sensations in the legs.
-
Swelling and itching near the affected area.
-
Visible veins that bulge under the skin.
-
Advanced cases may lead to venous stasis ulcers or even life-threatening conditions like pulmonary embolism.
Introducing the Venefit Procedure
The Venefit procedure is a minimally invasive procedure for treating varicose veins. By using advanced radiofrequency energy, it targets and closes diseased veins, allowing the body to reroute blood to healthier veins.
How Does the Venefit Procedure Work?
The treatment involves several key steps:
Step 1: Preparing the Treatment Area
The treatment area is sterilized, and a local anesthetic is applied for comfort.
Step 2: Ultrasound Imaging for Precision
Using ultrasound imaging, the vascular surgeon maps the vein’s location and inserts a catheter into the diseased vein.
Step 3: Endovenous Radiofrequency Energy Application
The catheter delivers radiofrequency energy to the vein walls, heating and sealing them shut. This endovenous radiofrequency ablation ensures precise closure.
The Benefits of Targeted Endovenous Therapy
This targeted endovenous therapy addresses the underlying cause of vein issues, making it highly effective for large varicose veins and chronic venous insufficiency.
Minimally Invasive vs. Traditional Surgery
Unlike traditional vein surgery, the Venefit procedure is a non-surgical alternative that requires only small incisions and causes minimal scarring. Compared to traditional vein stripping, the Venefit procedure is safer, minimizes complications, and allows for quicker recovery. This translates to shorter recovery times and less discomfort.
Who Should Consider Venefit Treatment?
Many patients with symptoms of vein disease, such as swelling, pain, or venous stasis ulcers, are ideal candidates. A consultation with a vein specialist can confirm eligibility.
