AS THE SUMMER MONTHS ARE A TIME WHEN MANY PEOPLE TAKE VACATIONS, IT IS A GOOD TIME TO GET VEINS TREATED.
So, today, we are decoding the facts about one of the latest minimally invasive technology offerings at the Alabama Vein & Restoration Medspa: VenaSeal™ closure system.
This closure treatment option treats venous disease using only an advanced medical adhesive, and most patients can return to normal activity almost immediately.
How it works: Unlike other heat-based treatments, the VenaSeal™ closure system does not require tumescent anesthesia (multiple injections of a dilute local anesthetic), and eliminates the risk of burning or nerve injury associated with thermal based procedures. The VenaSeal adhesive is placed into the vein through a catheter and quickly closes the vein, rerouting blood through nearby healthy veins.
The benefits: There is minimal pain during and after the procedure as compared to other treatment options as well as minimal post-procedure bruising. Symptoms often improve as soon as the diseased vein is closed and recovery time is quick.
The recovery: In general, most patients may return to normal activity right after the procedure. As in every case, there are always risks of vein irritation and inflammation, but are rare with VenaSeal.
