ERFA is a walk-in, walk-out procedure designed to treat the underlying cause of varicose veins, not just their appearance. Using radiofrequency energy, the affected vein is gently sealed through a tiny keyhole entry under local anaesthetic. Once closed, the vein is naturally absorbed by the body, allowing healthy veins to take over blood flow. This advanced technique effectively treats bulging varicose veins, leg symptoms such as aching, heaviness, throbbing and night cramps, and chronic venous insufficiency, helping to prevent skin discolouration, swelling and leg ulcers.

Unlike traditional vein stripping, ERFA requires no general anaesthetic, no hospital admission, and involves significantly less discomfort and downtime. The procedure is minimally invasive, performed under local anaesthetic with a tiny puncture, and most patients return to normal activities within 24–48 hours. With no general anaesthetic required, it is safer, with less bruising and pain, and provides excellent cosmetic results with minimal to no scarring as the treated veins are naturally absorbed.
