RF Vein Treatment in Venice, FL
What Is RF Vein Treatment?
RF vein treatment, or radiofrequency vein therapy, is a simple, non-surgical procedure that helps reduce or remove unwanted veins. It uses gentle radiofrequency energy to warm the inside of the vein, causing it to close. Once the vein is sealed, the body naturally redirects blood flow through nearby healthy veins. Over time, the treated vein fades and becomes less visible.
At REJUVA Dermatology in Venice, FL, our experienced medical team performs this treatment with care and precision. The radiofrequency device targets only the problem vein while keeping the surrounding skin safe. This approach offers patients an effective way to improve the look of visible veins without the need for surgery or a long recovery period. RF vein treatment is known for its safety, comfort, and natural-looking results, making it a trusted option for people who want clearer, smoother skin.
Who Is Best for This Treatment?
RF Vein Treatment may be right for you if you want to reduce visible or raised veins on your legs or other areas. It’s often recommended for people who:
- Have medium to large veins that appear blue, purple, or bulging
- Experience mild swelling, aching, or heaviness in their legs
- Want a minimally invasive option without surgery
- Are in good general health and have realistic expectations
This treatment is especially effective for deeper veins that cannot be treated with surface laser procedures. During your consultation, one of our dermatology professionals will assess your veins, discuss your symptoms, and create a plan tailored to your needs and goals.
What Is the Downtime?
Recovery after RF Vein Treatment is usually very quick. Most patients return to their daily routine within one to two days.
After treatment, you may notice slight redness, tenderness, or bruising where the vein was treated. These minor effects usually disappear within a few days. You may be asked to wear compression stockings for a short period to help with healing and blood flow.
Walking right after your session is encouraged, as light movement helps circulation and recovery. However, it’s best to avoid strenuous workouts, heavy lifting, or high heat (like saunas or hot baths) for a few days.
How Long Do Results Last?
Once a treated vein is closed, it does not reopen. Most people see improvement within a few weeks, and the treated vein continues to fade gradually over several months.
While results last for many years, new veins can appear later due to genetics, hormone changes, or lifestyle habits such as prolonged sitting or standing. To prevent new veins from appearing, stay active, keep a healthy weight, and follow your dermatologist’s recommendations. If new veins develop, touch-up treatments can easily maintain your smooth, even-toned results.
Side Effects
RF Vein Treatment is considered very safe, especially when performed by trained dermatology specialists. Side effects are usually mild and short-term. You might experience:
- Mild swelling, redness, or warmth in the treated area
- Minor, temporary bruising or tightness
- Temporary skin numbness or tenderness
- Light brown discoloration in rare cases
These symptoms typically go away quickly without lasting effects. Our providers will give you simple aftercare tips to help your skin recover comfortably and achieve the best outcome.
When Can I Resume Normal Activities?
Most patients are able to walk, work, and continue light activities immediately after treatment. In general, you can expect to return to your full routine within 24–48 hours.
For the best results, follow these easy post-care steps:
- Take short walks several times a day to support blood flow
- Avoid intense exercise for a few days
- Refrain from long hot baths, saunas, and direct heat exposure
- Wear compression stockings as recommended
- Keep the treated area clean and protected from the sun
These steps promote healing and help ensure your results look natural and long-lasting.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does the treatment hurt?
Most people feel mild warmth or a gentle pulling sensation, but it’s not considered painful. Local numbing is used to keep you comfortable during the procedure.
How long does one session take?
Expect your session to take 30 to 60 minutes; the final time will be determined by how many and how large the veins are.
How many sessions will I need?
