Radiofrequency (RF) Ablation for Hattiesburg, MS Patients
For Hattiesburg residents dealing with vein concerns, the Vein Institute's Hattiesburg location offers radiofrequency (rf) ablation in a relaxed, comfortable setting. Every visit starts with a one-on-one conversation with your provider about your specific symptoms and goals.
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
Hattiesburg 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
We keep the first visit simple — check-in, then a conversation with your provider about your leg veins and any symptoms you're noticing. An ultrasound is frequently performed the same day, since it helps confirm whether venous insufficiency is contributing to your symptoms.
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.
