VNUS Closure

The VNUS Radiofrequency (RF) therapy is a minimally invasive alternative to traditional vein stripping. It's done by inserting a very small tube, called a catheter, into the vein and delivering radiofrequency energy to the vein wall. This causes the vein to shrink, collapse and seal shut. Once it’s sealed, the healthy veins take over and redirect blood-flow back toward the heart. The VNUS procedure is a minimally invasive treatment alternative with less pain and less bruising when compared to traditional vein stripping surgery.

Minimally Invasive Outpatient Procedure
Clinically Proven Less Post-Operative Pain
Excellent Clinical Outcomes
Aesthetically Appealing

The radiofrequency procedure can be performed under local anesthesia in the physician’s office. Patients have reported little, if any, pain during the procedure, and most return to normal activity within a day. Some common side effects include temporary tenderness and numbness. You can expect a noticeable improvement within 1 to 2 weeks, with good cosmetic outcomes and little to no scarring.
