Unfolding A New Dimension In Varicose Vein Treatment

In humans, veins are the blood vessels that are present throughout the body. These veins are responsible for carrying impure blood back to the heart.

Varicose veins are a condition that causes the veins of the legs to swell, become larger and pop out on the skin surface. This happens because the valves in the veins become weak and the muscle in the walls of the veins doesn’t work as well as it should. Initially these veins appear blue or grey, but as the time passes, they become darker.

VenaSeal For Varicose Vein Treatment: The First Choice Of Experts

In the last few years, there have been a lot of breakthroughs in the  varicose vein treatment. While the traditional treatments have helped, they are painful and the results temporary. There has to be an easier, more comfortable and more permanent solution to vein problems, and the answer is, VenaSeal.

Providing Enhanced Patient Experience: No Pain,No Anaesthesia, No Bed- Rest, No Stockings

The new Venaseal Instant Closure system is gaining momentum as the best way to close varicose vein treatment without surgery. It is the latest USFDA approved treatment and can be done in a single session. This system delivers a small amount of adhesive (medical glue) that is utilized to close or seal the affected vein immediately, rerouting blood to nearby healthy veins and providing faster symptom relief. After this procedure is complete, we recommend that you rest for approximately ten minutes before returning to your normal activities!

Perks of VenaSeal over other treatment options

  • Minimally Invasive Procedure
  • No Downtime
  • Doesn’t require stockings
  • High Success Rate
  • Less Intra and Post Procedure Pain
  • No Multiple Needle Pricks
  • No Major Anaesthesia

Endo Venous Laser/Radiofrequency Ablation Treatment: Experts’ Trusted option

Endo Venous Laser /Radiofrequency Ablation (EVLA/RFA) is a minimally invasive procedure for varicose vein treatment . It is a relatively newer treatment when compared to other traditional methods of treating varicose veins.

Endo Venous Laser/Radiofrequency Ablation Treatment:

Pinhole Laser/RFA Treatment for Varicose Veins

In this method, we thread a thin laser/radiofrequency fiber inside the vein using a tiny needle that has been guided by USG. A special laser machine is used to generate the heat needed to close off the defective vein. Post procedure, patient is advised to use thigh length stockings for approximately 18 to 22 weeks.

Percutaneous sclerotherapy

Sclerotherapy works best for the tortous varicosities arising from the truncal veins/ incompetent perforators. In this method, a small needle is inserted into varicosity under USG guidance / direct vision and a medicine called sclerosant is injected in the form of foam. The medicine causes reaction of the inner walls of veins and closes them. The procedure is generally done as an adjunct to the main procedure, that is Venaseal or EVLA/RFA.
