Not usually, but you may experience some tolerable discomfort.
Vein ablation procedures are not usually painful. Local anesthesia is used to numb the area, and any discomfort experienced is typically mild and manageable with over-the-counter pain medication. To learn more, connect with me at drjeromepuryear.com. Thank you!

Most people find that there is little discomfort associated with having a vein ablation performed. We ask that everyone take a very mild relaxing medication prior to the procedure. Local anesthetic is used during the procedure. Most procedures are one hour or less, depending on your individual plan of care..
Vein ablation is done with local anesthetic. Application of the local anesthetic hurts very briefly (needle shot) then the remained of the procedure is relatively minor discomfort. The will be some soreness and aching for the next few weeks and even some aching in the treatment area for a few months.
