FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
We’ve gathered answers to some of the most common questions from patients considering CHIVA treatment at our centers.
What Does a CHIVA Treatment Involve?
CHIVA is performed under local anesthesia in an outpatient setting. Using ultrasound-guided mapping, your doctor creates a personalized plan to redirect blood flow — no vein stripping or thermal ablation is involved.
Is CHIVA Right for Me?
CHIVA is suitable for many people with superficial venous reflux, especially those seeking a non-destructive, functional treatment. A specialist consultation and Doppler evaluation will confirm if you’re a candidate.
What Makes CHIVA Centers Different?
Unlike conventional vein clinics, CHIVA Centers are based on hemodynamic science — we treat cause, not just symptoms. Our mission is to restore balance, not eliminate vessels.
Will My Varicose Veins Come Back After CHIVA?
CHIVA aims to address the underlying hemodynamic dysfunction, which significantly reduces the risk of recurrence. However, as with all vein treatments, long-term outcomes depend on factors like lifestyle, genetics, and vein health maintenance. Regular follow-up with your CHIVA specialist is recommended.
