Varicose vein glue treatment Perth

What is varicose vein glue treatment?

Varicose vein glue treatment is a modern procedure to treat varicose veins without the need for surgery. 

Instead of using lots of needles or making big cuts, this method uses a special medical glue called VenaSeal. The glue is placed in the vein to seal it shut and help the blood flow through healthier veins.

It’s a great option for those who are scared of needles or prefer a less invasive treatment.

How does it work?

During the procedure, we use just one needle to inject the VenaSeal glue into the problematic vein. Once the glue is inside, it seals the vein shut, stopping blood from flowing through it. Your body then naturally redirects the blood to other, healthier veins, improving circulation.

This method, known as endovenous glue ablation, is performed within the vein itself. It’s a straightforward and efficient process that targets the issue directly, making it a comfortable option for many patients. 

“VenaSeal is a gentle way to treat varicose veins, making it much easier for people who feel anxious about other treatments, like laser procedures that require more needles, or open vascular surgery.”

Benefits of glue treatment for varicose veins

One of the main benefits of the glue procedure for varicose veins is that it only requires one needle, unlike laser treatments which need multiple injections. This makes the procedure less daunting for those who are afraid of needles. 

There’s also no need to wear compression stockings afterwards, which can be a relief for many patients.

The treatment has been shown to work well for up to five years, although we don’t yet have data on its effectiveness beyond that period. It’s a fit-for-purpose solution that offers a less invasive alternative to traditional methods.

“The simplicity and effectiveness of gluing varicose veins with VenaSeal make it a preferred choice for many of our patients in Perth.”

After VenaSeal treatment

What to expect after the procedure?

After the varicose vein glue treatment, you can expect a relatively quick recovery. Most patients experience minimal discomfort and can return to their normal activities soon after the procedure. As mentioned earlier, there’s no need for compression stockings, making the aftercare simpler and more comfortable. 

You might experience some mild bruising or tenderness at the injection site, but these symptoms usually go away quickly. Overall, it’s a convenient and effective treatment option for varicose veins.

“Most patients tell me they appreciate the quick recovery time and the minimal aftercare required with the VenaSeal glue procedure.”
