Varicose veins can be more than just a cosmetic nuisance—they often bring discomfort, swelling, and a heavy sensation in the legs. For decades, treatment options involved surgery or painful vein stripping. Thankfully, medical technology has advanced, and now minimally invasive procedures make vein care faster, safer, and more effective.
One of the most revolutionary treatments available today is the VenaSeal™ Closure System. Unlike traditional procedures that use heat, lasers, or surgery, VenaSeal uses a medical adhesive (glue) to seal problematic veins—without the need for anesthesia or downtime.
In this complete guide, we’ll cover:
- What VenaSeal treatment is
- How it works step by step
- Benefits compared to traditional treatments
- Who is an ideal candidate
- Possible risks and side effects
- Why CVIC Indore is the trusted clinic for VenaSeal treatment
What is VenaSeal Treatment?
The VenaSeal Closure System is a FDA-approved, minimally invasive procedure designed to treat varicose veins and chronic venous insufficiency.
Instead of using heat or lasers, VenaSeal uses a biocompatible medical adhesive to close the diseased vein. Once the vein is sealed shut, blood naturally reroutes through healthier veins.
This improves circulation and eliminates the bulging, twisted appearance of varicose veins.
How Does VenaSeal Work? (Step-by-Step)
- Diagnosis & Mapping – An ultrasound scan identifies the diseased vein.
- Local Access – A tiny catheter is inserted into the targeted vein.
- Adhesive Application – A small amount of medical glue is delivered into the vein.
- Closure – The vein is gently pressed to ensure it seals shut.
- Blood Rerouting – Blood flow naturally shifts to healthy veins.
- Recovery – The catheter is removed, and the patient can walk out immediately.
Benefits of VenaSeal Treatment
Compared to older treatments like surgery, endovenous laser ablation (EVLA), or radiofrequency ablation (RFA), VenaSeal has multiple advantages:
- No General Anesthesia – Only a small local numbing injection is used.
- No Heat or Burns – Unlike laser or radiofrequency, there’s no risk of nerve or skin damage.
- Minimal Pain – Patients report far less discomfort than with thermal ablation.
- No Compression Stockings (in most cases) – Many patients don’t need long-term stockings post-procedure.
- Quick Recovery – Resume normal activities immediately, even the same day.
- Cosmetic Improvement – Varicose veins disappear over time, leaving smoother legs.
Who is an Ideal Candidate for VenaSeal?
You may be a good candidate if you have:
- Large, bulging varicose veins
- Chronic venous insufficiency (poor circulation)
- Swelling, aching, or heaviness in the legs
- Skin discoloration or ulcers from vein problems
⚠️ Not suitable for:
- Patients with allergies to cyanoacrylate adhesives
- Severe acute deep vein thrombosis (DVT)
- Pregnancy or certain medical conditions (doctor evaluation required)
VenaSeal vs. Other Treatments
| Treatment | Method | Downtime | Pain Level | Stockings Required? |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Surgery (Vein Stripping) | Physical removal | 2–4 weeks | High | Yes |
| Laser Ablation (EVLA) | Heat via laser | 1–2 days | Moderate | Yes |
| Radiofrequency Ablation (RFA) | Heat via radio waves | 1–2 days | Moderate | Yes |
| VenaSeal | Medical glue | Same day | Minimal | Rarely |
Risks and Side Effects of VenaSeal
While generally safe, possible side effects include:
- Mild bruising or tenderness at injection site
- Temporary vein hardening
- Rare allergic reaction to adhesive
- Rare risk of deep vein thrombosis (DVT)
At CVIC, safety is prioritized through ultrasound-guided precision and experienced interventional radiologists.
