By Vein Care Medical Center
Varicose veins and chronic venous insufficiency are more than just cosmetic concerns—they can cause discomfort, swelling, fatigue, and even long-term health complications if left untreated. Fortunately, advances in minimally invasive vein treatments have made it easier than ever to restore healthy circulation. One of the most effective and widely recommended procedures today is Radiofrequency Ablation (RFA), specifically the ClosureFAST™ system.
At Vein Care Medical Center, with convenient locations in Los Angeles and Walnut, we specialize in cutting-edge vein treatments like ClosureFAST to help patients achieve lasting relief with minimal downtime.
What Is Radiofrequency Ablation (RFA) – ClosureFAST?
ClosureFAST™ is an FDA-approved, minimally invasive procedure that uses radiofrequency energy to treat diseased veins—most commonly the great saphenous vein (GSV) and other superficial veins contributing to varicose veins.
Instead of surgically removing the vein, ClosureFAST works by:
- Delivering controlled heat through a small catheter
- Causing the vein walls to collapse and seal shut
- Redirecting blood flow to healthier veins
Over time, the treated vein is naturally absorbed by the body.
Why Choose ClosureFAST for Vein Treatment?
ClosureFAST has become a preferred treatment option due to its combination of effectiveness, safety, and convenience.
Key Benefits:
- ✔ Minimally invasive (no major surgery required)
- ✔ Performed in-office under local anesthesia
- ✔ Little to no scarring
- ✔ Quick recovery—most patients resume normal activities within 24–48 hours
- ✔ High success rate with long-term results
- ✔ Reduced pain compared to traditional vein stripping
At Vein Care Medical Center, our experienced specialists use advanced imaging and precision techniques to ensure optimal outcomes.
Conditions Treated with RFA
ClosureFAST is primarily used to treat:
- Varicose veins
- Chronic venous insufficiency (CVI)
- Leg swelling and heaviness
- Aching or cramping in the legs
- Skin discoloration or venous ulcers
If you’re experiencing symptoms like leg fatigue, visible veins, or discomfort after standing, RFA may be the right solution.
What to Expect During the Procedure
Before Treatment:
- A consultation and ultrasound evaluation are performed
- Your provider maps the affected veins
- Local anesthesia is applied to the treatment area
During the Procedure:
- A small catheter is inserted into the vein
- Radiofrequency energy is delivered in controlled segments
- The vein is sealed shut
After Treatment:
- Compression stockings may be recommended
- Walking is encouraged shortly after the procedure
- Most patients return to daily activities within a day or two
Recovery and Results
Recovery from ClosureFAST is typically smooth and fast:
- Minimal bruising or discomfort
- Immediate improvement in symptoms for many patients
- Continued cosmetic improvement over several weeks
Long-term results are excellent, especially when combined with lifestyle adjustments and follow-up care.

Frequently Asked Questions (Q&A)
1. Is ClosureFAST painful?
Most patients report minimal discomfort. The procedure is performed under local anesthesia, and any post-procedure soreness is typically mild.
2. How long does the procedure take?
ClosureFAST usually takes 30–60 minutes, depending on the number of veins treated.
3. Is RFA better than laser treatment?
Both are effective, but many patients experience less discomfort and bruising with radiofrequency ablation compared to laser therapy.
4. Will my varicose veins come back?
The treated vein is permanently closed. However, new veins can develop over time, which is why follow-up care is important.
5. Am I a candidate for ClosureFAST?
If you have symptomatic varicose veins or venous insufficiency, you may be a candidate. A consultation and ultrasound will determine eligibility.
6. Is the procedure covered by insurance?
Many insurance plans cover RFA if it is deemed medically necessary. Our team can help verify your coverage.
7. How soon can I return to work?
Most patients return to normal activities within 24–48 hours.
8. Do I need multiple treatments?
Some patients may require additional treatments for smaller veins, but the main diseased vein is typically treated in one session.
