What is the best treatment for varicose veins in Chennai?
Radiofrequency Ablation (RFA) and VenaSeal™ Glue Closure are internationally recognised, guideline-supported treatments for varicose veins. Both are minimally invasive, performed under local anaesthesia as day-care procedures, and have high success rates.
Is varicose vein treatment painful?
RFA and VenaSeal are performed under local anaesthesia, so most patients experience minimal discomfort during the procedure. Mild soreness, bruising, or tenderness for a few days is normal and settles quickly without any major intervention.
How long does a varicose vein procedure take?
A single-limb RFA typically takes 45–60 minutes. You will be at the facility for a few hours in total including pre- and post-procedure care.
Do I need to be admitted to the hospital for vein treatment?
No. RFA, VenaSeal, and sclerotherapy are all day-care procedures at Apollo, Chennai. No hospital bed or overnight stay is required. Most patients walk out the same day.
When can I return to normal activities after vein treatment?
Most patients return to work within 24 hours. Walking is actively encouraged from day one. Your vascular surgeon will advise on any short-term restrictions based on your individual case and the veins treated.
Is varicose vein treatment covered by insurance in Chennai?
Yes. Apollo Centre for Venous Disorders is empaneled with all major health insurers and TPAs in Chennai. Cashless treatment is available for eligible procedures. Our dedicated team will assist with pre-authorization requests and claim documentation.
