Radiofrequency ablation for varicose veins is generally not painful. Most people experience only mild discomfort or pressure during the procedure, which is manageable with local anesthesia. After the procedure, temporary soreness, bruising, or swelling may occur. To learn more, connect with me at drjeromepuryear.com. Thank you!
