VenaSeal
How Does VenaSeal Work?
During the VenaSeal procedure, the vein doctor inserts a catheter into the diseased vein via a small incision on the skin’s surface. The catheter is inserted under ultrasound guidance to ensure optimal precision. Once the catheter is firmly lodged in place, the vein physician delivers a vein glue that facilitates fibrotic growth and seals the vein’s walls shut. The accumulated blood reroutes into healthier leg veins, restoring optimal blood circulation to the heart. Meanwhile, the diseased vein hardens into scar tissues that get absorbed by the body over time.
The VenaSeal procedure is so effective that you don’t even have to wear compression stockings or ACE bandages after the treatment, which you must do after all other vein treatments. Furthermore, since this procedure doesn’t ablate the diseased vein using thermal energy, the risk of nerve injuries is non-existent.
Am I a Candidate for VenaSeal?
If you have the signs and symptoms of chronic venous insufficiency, please schedule an appointment at your nearest vein clinic in Maryland. The vein doctor will administer an ultrasound diagnostic scan, known as duplex ultrasound, to visualize the blood flow in your leg veins and determine if you need VenaSeal treatment.

What to Expect from VenaSeal?
Furthermore, VenaSeal treatment allows you to swim and engage in other regular activities and exercises after the procedure. Most other vein treatments require you to avoid strenuous workouts for a few days. You may notice firmness in your legs, but that’s a natural consequence of your diseased vein hardening into scar tissues. The firmness will dissipate once the diseased vein is absorbed by the body.
Will I Need Other Treatments After VenaSeal?
VenaSeal is one of the best treatments for spider veins and varicose veins because it addresses the root cause of your vascular problems, ensures long-lasting results, and doesn’t involve downtime, harsh side effects, or even the need for compression stockings. Since this procedure concludes within an hour and involves no downtime, it doesn’t have to interfere with your daily schedule.
