Treat Thyroid Nodules With RFA, Not Surgery

An alternative to thyroid surgery for non-cancerous nodules

What Is Radiofrequency Ablation (RFA)?

RFA is a minimally invasive procedure that uses an electrical needle probe to generate heat (“thermal”) energy to destroy (“ablate”) thyroid tissue. It’s an effective alternative to surgery for certain thyroid conditions.

RFA vs. Thyroid Surgery

Which procedure is a better fit for me?

Radiofrequency Ablation (RFA)

Best for people with...

Individual extensions applied one-to-one on your natural lashes for a soft, elegant look.

Desire to avoid general anesthesia or a hospital stay

Preference for no visible scarring

Nodules that are solid or mostly solid

Health conditions that make surgery risky

Thyroid Surgery

Best for people with...

Nodules suspicious for or confirmed as cancerous

Large nodules pressing on nearby structures or growing quickly

Complex or deeply located nodules close to critical structures

Nodules producing excessive hormones unresponsive to meds

Desire for definitive diagnosis via full tissue analysis

No General
Anesthesia

It’s an outpatient procedure, so you go home the same day.

Faster
Recovery Time

Most patients return to normal activities within a day or two.
