VenaSeal is a medical procedure used to treat varicose veins, which are swollen and twisted veins usually occurring in the legs. The treatment involves the use of a medical adhesive that is injected into the affected vein to seal it shut. Here are some things to expect after undergoing VenaSeal treatment:
- Relief from symptoms: VenaSeal treatment can help reduce the symptoms associated with varicose veins, such as pain, swelling, and aching in the legs.
- Minimal discomfort: The procedure is minimally invasive, and most patients experience little to no discomfort during or after the procedure.
- Quick recovery: Most patients are able to resume normal activities immediately after the procedure, and there is no need for a lengthy recovery period or time off work.
- Improvement in appearance: VenaSeal treatment helps to improve the appearance of varicose veins, as the treated veins will gradually fade over time.
- Follow-up appointments: You must schedule a follow-up appointment to monitor your progress and ensure that the treated vein has properly healed.
- No Compression Stockings: Wearing compression stockings is not required following this procedure, making it an ideal treatment even in the warmer months when compression stockings can be a pain.
- Potential side effects: While rare, some patients may experience mild side effects such as bruising, swelling, or numbness around the treatment site. These side effects are usually temporary and go away on their own. More serious complications, such as deep vein thrombosis or nerve injury, can occur in very rare cases, so discussing any concerns with your doctor before treatment is important.
Nonetheless, it is essential to consult your medical professional’s specific instructions in order to ensure an effective and effortless recovery following any medical procedure. Don’t hesitate to contact your healthcare provider if you experience any unexpected or concerning symptoms after the VenaSeal treatment.
