Traditional surgical methods of treating Varicose veins are very painful as to numb the area, traditional procedures like EVLA or RFA required several needle pricks along the vein's route. This is an extremely painful procedure and few patients even require sedation or even spinal anesthesia to alleviate the discomfort that may cause side effects.
Unlike the traditional methods, varicose veins can now be treated with a pain-free procedure like the Venaseal Closure System Treatment method which involves just one prick per vein, similar to an IV line placement. This makes the operation much more comfortable for the patient. This technique is safe for older people who may have other health conditions such as heart disease because no further anesthetic medicine or saline injection is required.
Patients do not need to wear stockings following the Venaseal operation, which saves time and makes their recovery more comfortable and quick. At the Vein Center, we have the country’s best doctors and healthcare facilities to carry out any type of treatment associated with varicose veins.
