Varicose veins are responsible for all kinds of discomfort, including burning and itching. In addition, their appearance can look unattractive.
The VenaSeal procedure involves the placement of a very small amount of medical grade adhesive solution (cyanoacrylate) into the vein through a small catheter to close the main vein in the leg that causes varicose and spider veins. Once the affected vein is closed, blood is re-routed through other healthy veins in the leg. Over time, the body will reabsorb the closed veins, causing them to disappear. Most patients see marked improvement in the appearance of their legs within four weeks of the VenaSeal procedure.
In contrast to heat-based procedures such as Endovenous Laser or Radiofrequency Ablation, VenaSeal does not require large volumes of local anaesthesia and there is no risk of skin burns. In addition, VenaSeal does not require uncomfortable compression stockings after the procedure.
