Radiofrequency (RF) Ablation for Gulfport, MS Patients
Vein disease is common, and it's treatable. If you're in Gulfport, MS, the Vein Institute's D’Iberville office provides radiofrequency (rf) ablation using modern, minimally invasive techniques — the same approach used across all 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.
Read more on our main RF Ablation page.
Who This Helps
Gulfport 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
Plan for a consultation focused on you: your provider will ask about your symptoms, review your history, and often recommend an in-office ultrasound to map the affected veins. From there, you'll discuss which treatment options make sense for your situation.
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.
