The VenaSeal system is a new technically advanced and minimally invasive procedure for sealing insufficient veins. This system uses adhesive to seal the malfunctioning veins responsible for varicose veins without the need for a thermal source like other comparable techniques (endolaser or radiofrequency).
The adhesive is able to instantly bind to the vein, stopping blood flow in the diseased vein and redirecting blood flow to healthy veins. According to the most recent studies, more than 97% of the veins remained closed 12 months after treatment with the VenaSeal system. Unlike the other possible treatment options, this procedure does not require anesthesia. Only a small amount of local anesthesia is used at the venous puncture site and is free of complications from the use of heat, such as skin burns or saphenous nerve neuropathy.
In addition, VenaSeal generally does not require post-procedure compression stockings. Patients report rapid relief of symptoms and visible varicose veins with rapid recovery, allowing them to ambulate immediately after treatment and return to their daily routines immediately. Patients report little or no pain, both during and after the VenaSeal procedure. However, this technique is not suitable for all types of varicose veins, so careful assessment by a vascular surgeon experienced in this technique is necessary.
It is an effective method that does not require surgery and in which, at the present time, Dr. Hernando is one of the most experienced professionals applying this technique in Bizkaia. For more information you can consult our treatments or request specific information for your case.
