What of the difference between LASER and RF ablation for varicose veins?
Both are extremely minimally options for treating varicose veins where a small nick was made in the vein close to the knee and a small tube is is inserted under ultrasound guidance basically to destroy the abnormally dilated vein. Laser uses a LASER fiber and energy to destroy the vein on the other hand radiofrequency is used to destroy the vessel during RF ablation. Both produced produce equally good results however literature claims that RF ablation produces less pain following the procedure.
