Varicose veins affect millions of Americans, leading to leg pain, swelling, heaviness, and discomfort. If left untreated, they can contribute to chronic venous insufficiency (CVI), skin discoloration, and even venous ulcers. The VenaSeal™ Closure System is a revolutionary, non-surgical treatment that eliminates varicose veins without heat, tumescent anesthesia, or compression stockings.
At Vascular Surgery Associates, our board-certified vein specialists in Los Angeles and Santa Monica offer VenaSeal™ as a cutting-edge alternative to traditional vein treatments, providing fast, effective, and lasting results with minimal downtime.
What is the VenaSeal™ Closure System?
The VenaSeal™ system is an FDA-approved, minimally invasive treatment that uses a medical adhesive to close diseased veins. Unlike laser or radiofrequency treatments, VenaSeal™ does not require thermal energy or multiple needle injections, making it one of the most comfortable and convenient vein treatments available.
How VenaSeal™ Works
- A tiny catheter is inserted into the diseased vein, guided by ultrasound imaging.
- A medical-grade adhesive is applied inside the vein, sealing it shut.
- Blood reroutes to healthier veins, restoring proper circulation.
- The closed vein is naturally absorbed by the body, leaving no visible trace.
This procedure is performed in less than 30 minutes with no need for compression stockings or post-treatment restrictions.
Who is a Candidate for VenaSeal™?
VenaSeal™ is ideal for patients who:
- Have painful, bulging varicose veins
- Suffer from leg swelling, heaviness, or cramping
- Have chronic venous insufficiency (CVI)
- Prefer a treatment with no thermal energy or anesthesia
- Want a non-surgical alternative to traditional vein procedures
A consultation at Vascular Surgery Associates can determine if VenaSeal™ is the best treatment option for your varicose veins.
