ClosureFast™ Treats
At Athens Vein & Aesthetics we offer ClosureFast™ to treat patients with venous reflux or chronic venous insufficiency.
This minimally invasive treatment uses radiofrequency energy to precisely and effectively treat patients with varicose veins and is done as an outpatient procedure in our office.
“When treated with ClosureFast™ clinical results have shown patients to have a 91.9% vein closure rate five years post treatment with overall improved vein health.”
Dr. Chris Malone
The ClosureFast™ procedure usually takes about an hour.
Following the procedure, you’ll be fitted with a compression stocking and asked to refrain from strenuous activity for a short period of time.
Most patients resume normal activity within 24 hours.
In-office and Minimally Invasive
The ClosureFast™ procedure is minimally invasive compared to vein stripping.
During the ClosureFast™ procedure, the vein is closed using heat delivered by a catheter that is inserted through a small incision below the knee. It is performed in an outpatient setting, using regional or local anesthesia for your comfort.
If you have any concerns about pain or anxiety during the procedure, we offer the Pro-Nox Nitrous Oxide System for pain and anxiety relief.
Athens Vein & Aesthetics is one of the few practices in the area offering this combination of oxygen and nitrous oxide which is effective enough to ease your pain and anxiety without additional medication.

Typically, you should be able to resume normal activities within a few days after the treatment.
We’ll make sure you’re fully informed regarding the potential complications associated with the ClosureFast™ procedure.
During your initial appointment, our providers will help you determine if the ClosureFast™ procedure is the right option to correct your chronic venous insufficiency.
Primary Care vs Vein Specialist
Primary care physician possesses a broad knowledge base that covers a range of ailments and diseases. While they can diagnose vein disease correctly, they may not have the same level of expertise in this specific area.
Therefore, if you suspect that you may be suffering from vein disease, it is often more prudent to seek the guidance of a vein treatment specialist directly. By doing so, you increase the chances of receiving an accurate diagnosis and appropriate treatment without the risk of being misdiagnosed or experiencing delayed care. Ultimately, a vein treatment specialist's specialized focus and expertise make them the ideal choice for addressing vein diseases comprehensively and effectively.
