Radiofrequency (RF) Ablation for Biloxi, MS Patients

Biloxi, MS patients looking for radiofrequency (rf) ablation don't have to travel far. The Vein Institute's D’Iberville office serves Biloxi and the surrounding area, offering the same board-certified vein care available at all three of our South Mississippi locations.

What Is RF Ablation?

A heat-based vein ablation option that closes a diseased vein using radiofrequency energy.

Radiofrequency ablation uses heat generated by radiofrequency energy, delivered through a thin catheter, to close a diseased vein. Like EVLT, it's one of the vein ablation options Dr. J. Keith Thompson offers for varicose veins caused by venous reflux.

Who This Helps

Biloxi patients often come to the Vein Institute with one or more of these symptoms or questions about rf ablation:

  • Varicose veins with associated aching or heaviness
  • Vein disease confirmed by ultrasound to involve reflux in a larger vein
  • Leg swelling or skin changes from long-standing vein disease

How It Works & Recovery

Your first visit starts with check-in — no stack of forms to fill out — followed by a one-on-one conversation with your provider about your symptoms. Many patients also have an ultrasound the same day to help identify which veins are involved, so a treatment plan can be discussed right away.

RF ablation is performed in-office with local anesthetic and typically allows patients to resume normal activities the same day, with walking encouraged soon after treatment.
