Venous insufficiency: yes specifically if you're having symptoms-throbbing, heaviness, tiredness, aching, cramping, swelling, and itching sensation of the lower extremities. Thermal ablation procedure would be recommended based on this information.

Venous Insufficiency: If you have venous insufficiency due to reflux of the saphenous system of veins then you would be considered a candidate for a closure procedure. If you are reluctant to undergo a closure procedure which is an office based procedure done under local anesthesia then you may want to try support hose and , perhaps, vein supplements for several months. Venous insufficiency is usually progressive.
