Quicker Healing Than Heat Treatments or Surgery
Addressing your varicose veins can require longer recovery and more scarring—or not. You choose your own care, but make sure you understand what the healing time looks like for non-thermal vein treatment in Lakewood Ranch vs heat-based or surgical treatment.
Varicose Vein Surgery: The Longest Healing Time
When a provider recommends surgery for varicose veins, they most likely mean an ambulatory phlebectomy or vein stripping. Either procedure requires incisions to the leg(s) so the provider can “tie off” the affected veins.
In a phlebectomy, providers make multiple incisions and take out the vein piece by piece. For vein stripping (also called ligation), they remove the whole vein at once. Though local anesthesia may be chosen, the extent of the procedure often requires deeper sedation.
Recovery generally takes 1 to 4 weeks, depending on the procedure and the number of veins removed.
Varicose Vein Ablation: Shorter Healing, But Not the Shortest
Patients who undergo endovenous thermal ablation sign up for shorter healing times and less scarring than with surgery. However, this treatment still requires incisions to allow insertion of a longer tube (called a “cannula”) into each varicose vein.
The provider threads either a specialized wire or an optical fiber through the cannula into the vein, and heats the vein tissue with radiofrequency (RF) energy or laser energy. This swells the vein, sealing it shut. Unfortunately, it can also cause possible blood clots, since it heats the blood within the vein at the same time.
Recovery time for endovenous thermal ablation generally means 2 to 3 days of rest before you can get back to light activities, and 1 to 2 weeks before a return to more strenuous activities.
