VenaSeal is an alternate treatment of choice for Varicose veins. It’s a non-thermal treatment option which enhances blood flow and relieves symptoms by sealing the diseased vein. During the procedure, a small amount of a specially formulated medical adhesive is delivered to the diseased vein by the VenaSeal system. The adhesive seals the vein and blood is rerouted through a near by healthier veins, hence, allowing complete relief of relieves the symptoms.
Most patient feels a very little pain, if any, during the procedure. You might experience a slight discomfort from the tiny needle sticks. The adhesive that VenaSeal system delivers to the veins may cause a mild sensation of pulling.
There is a little to no downtime with VenaSeal. Patients usually return to regular activities immediately after the procedure. We recommend to avoid long haul flights (>4 hours of continuous travel) for at least 2 weeks after the treatment.
VenaSeal is a non-thermal and minimally invasive procedure. It may have the following risks:
- Hyperpigmentation, it means darkening of the skins that usually goes away with time.
- Allergic reaction to VenaSeal adhesive.
Immediately after VenaSeal treatment, you will get relief from the symptoms.
The number of session required depends on how long is the diseases vein and how well your vein responds to treatment. Most patients require 2-4 sessions for best results.
