VenaSeal is a modern, minimally invasive treatment for varicose veins that uses a medical adhesive to close off affected veins. The procedure involves inserting a catheter into the vein, through which a specially formulated adhesive is delivered. This glue seals the vein shut, redirecting blood flow to healthier veins.
Unlike other treatments, VenaSeal does not require heat, so there's no need for tumescent anesthesia or multiple needle sticks. The procedure is quick, usually taking less than an hour, and most patients can return to normal activities immediately afterward. VenaSeal is especially appealing because it causes minimal discomfort and requires no compression stockings after treatment.
It’s an excellent option for patients who prefer a less invasive approach or those who may not be ideal candidates for thermal treatments like laser or radiofrequency ablation. However, it’s important to consult with a vein specialist to determine if VenaSeal is the right option.
