After receiving a diagnostic ultrasound from the team at Central Florida Vein and Vascular Center, our specialists may recommend Venaseal treatment at one of our three locations: Ocoee, Kissimmee, or The Villages. This minimally invasive procedure uses medical glue to seal varicose veins. Here’s what you can expect from this treatment.
During Venaseal treatments, a specialist will use an ultrasound to map out the varicose veins. After using local anesthesia, they’ll insert a small catheter into the affected vein in the leg. The Venaseal medical glue will be applied, causing the varicose vein to seal shut, which causes no harm to blood flow as blood is automatically routed to healthy veins. The sealed vein will harden and be absorbed by the body, effectively removing the vein without scarring. Depending on the patient’s needs, two or more veins may be treated at once.
Patients experience no downtime from this minimally invasive procedure and can return to their day-to-day activities immediately following treatment. It is normal to feel a small amount of soreness in the leg after a few days but patients normally don’t need to take pain medication or use compression stockings.
As a clinic that specializes in vein care, we’re dedicated to giving you the highest quality treatment plan possible. Our primary physician, Dr. Horowitz, is board-certified and has been practicing vein care in Central Florida since 2001. He is one of only a few hundred physicians in the entire country who are Diplomats of the American Board of Venous Lymphatic Medicine. Our full team at Central Florida Vein & Vascular Center has a high-level of combined experience, ensuring that you’ll be in good hands.
All of our procedures are minimally invasive. If the thought of treatment recovery time or costs is keeping you away from the vein care you deserve, don’t worry. Vein care is more affordable than you might think. Most insurance companies cover an initial consultation, so you can gain a full understanding of your current venous health. You’ll be happy to hear that treatment itself is sometimes covered by insurance as well.
Venaseal is a relatively newer form of varicose vein treatment. While there were concerns when Venaseal first came to market, it has now proven to be a safe and effective form of varicose veins treatment for those who are deemed to be good candidates.
While the complications from Venaseal are rare, they are possible. Some of the potential complications of Venaseal include:
Generally, there is no downtime after treatment and you can immediately return to your normal life. Any soreness should subside within a week.
