Closure Fast

VNUS Closure-FAST is a radiofrequency therapy that treats the veins from within using high frequency energy. The resulting heat causes the vein to be closed immediately. Incisions are not necessary, and hence no scarring occurs. Because no blood vessels are damaged, no bleeding occurs. In most cases, there is no need to wear compression stockings. Patients can resume normal everyday activities on the same day as the operation, or on the following day at the latest. Patients do not normally need to take time off work. This operation can be carried under local or general anaesthetic, and as an in- or out-patient.
