Radiofrequency Ablation Available at Palm Clinic for Treatment of Varicose Veins

Palm Clinic has introduced Radiofrequency Ablation for the treatment of varicose veins. This treatment, is the gold-standard for varicose veins treatments, and proven to cause less pain and bruising than Endovenous Laser Ablation.

The treatment uses heat created from radiofrequency (RF). Varicose veins are swollen, enlarged veins. They happen most often in the legs. Varicose veins can develop when valves in your veins become damaged. This causes problems with blood flow. Over time, too much blood collects in the veins. The veins may bulge, twist, and stand out under the skin. They can also cause symptoms such as aching, cramping, or swelling in legs. During RFA treatment, RF heat is sent into the vein through a thin, flexible tube (catheter). This closes off blood flow in the main problem vein.

Palm Clinic is a centre of excellence for varicose veins, liposuction, microdermabrasion, Botox, dermal fillers and facial laser rejuvenation. Located in Remuera the beautiful, state-of-the-art facility is one of the longest established clinics of its kind in New Zealand and has a reputation for safe, natural results.
