VenaSeal treatment is generally considered safe, with a low risk of complications. However, as with any medical procedure, there are some potential risks and side effects to be aware of. The most common side effects include mild bruising, swelling, or tenderness at the site where the catheter was inserted. These symptoms are typically minor and resolve on their own within a few days.
In rare cases, patients may experience an allergic reaction to the adhesive used in the procedure, though this is uncommon. There is also a small risk of blood clots, known as deep vein thrombosis (DVT), but this is a rare complication when the procedure is performed by an experienced specialist. Some patients may develop phlebitis, which is inflammation of the treated vein, but this is usually mild and can be managed with over-the-counter anti-inflammatory medications.
Overall, VenaSeal has a very favorable safety profile, especially when performed by a qualified and experienced vein specialist.
