Everything carries risk. The most common complication after an Ablation is pain on procedure site. The worst thing that can happen (very rare) is a blood clot in the deep veins.
Talk to you varicose vein specialist about all of these.

Every surgery carries some inherent risk. But if done right by qualified vascular surgeon I would consider this a low risk surgery.

Radiofrequency vein ablation carries low risks, including potential pain or discomfort, bruising, swelling, numbness or tingling, skin burns (rare), blood clots (rare), and infection (minimal risk). To learn more, connect with me at drjeromepuryear.com. Thank you!
