Vanishing Veins
February 18th, 2008 by Jeannie 
There’s a new treatment available now for painful, bulging varicose veins. It’s actually a device called the VNUS ClosureFAST. Traditional methods involved stripping the vein surgically and a longer recovery time. With this method local anesthesia is injected, then a catheter is inserted into the varicose vein, through the catheter the ClosureFAST electrode is drawn through. Once this is in place radiofrequency energy is activated which causes the vein to heat up and then collapse which then leads to the closure of the vein. You can be back on your feet in about 1 day with some support wraps. Not recommended for spider veins however.
