ClosureFast is a minimally invasive treatment that uses radio wave energy to resolve problematic veins for those suffering from chronic venous insufficiency.
How ClosureFast treats venous reflux
The ClosureFast system is a device that uses radio frequency ablation to treat your veins. You will be given local anesthesia for comfort prior to the procedure. Using ultrasound imaging for guidance, a small catheter is inserted into your malfunctioning vein and emits just enough heat to collapse it, closing it for good. Once it closed, the withered vein is hardens, and blood flow automatically reroutes to other healthy veins. The entire process takes anywhere between 45 minutes to an hour.
Recovery time after the ClosureFast procedure
ClosureFast is an office-based procedure, so you may return to your normal activities within three days. You will need to avoid heavy or strenuous activity for at least a few weeks.
Costs
ClosureFast treatment cost can vary depending on your area, physician, and insurance coverage. Generally, your health insurance may cover the treatment if your doctor determines that it is medically necessary.
