Who This Helps
Laurel patients often come to the Vein Institute with one or more of these symptoms or questions about venaseal:
- Varicose veins caused by a refluxing (diseased) vein
- Patients who want to avoid wearing compression stockings for an extended period after treatment
How It Works & Recovery
Your visit begins with a straightforward check-in, followed by time with your provider to go over your symptoms and concerns. Most patients also have an ultrasound exam the same day, which helps confirm the diagnosis before any treatment is recommended.
VenaSeal does not require tumescent (fluid) anesthesia the way some heat-based ablations do, and most patients return to normal activity quickly after the in-office procedure.
