What Is VenaSeal?
VenaSeal is a non-thermal, non-tumescent procedure that uses a medical adhesive to seal off varicose veins. This specialized glue permanently closes the affected vein, rerouting blood flow to healthier veins nearby. The procedure offers an alternative to traditional methods that rely on heat or surgical removal.
VenaSeal Treatment Overview
This procedure effectively treats symptomatic varicose veins by closing the damaged vein from the inside. It is performed in-office and typically requires only a single treatment session for each affected vein. The VenaSeal system ensures precise application of the medical adhesive for optimal results.
Preparing for VenaSeal
- Initial Consultation
Your journey begins with a thorough consultation with Dr. Wissam Fayad. He will assess your vein condition, discuss your medical history, and determine if VenaSeal is the right treatment for you. This step ensures a personalized treatment plan tailored to your specific needs.
- Diagnostic Ultrasound
An ultrasound examination of your legs will be performed to map the problematic veins. This imaging helps Dr. Fayad accurately identify the diseased veins requiring treatment. Precise mapping is crucial for the success and safety of the VenaSeal procedure.
- Pre-Procedure Instructions
You will receive specific instructions to follow before your VenaSeal appointment. These may include avoiding certain medications or lotions on the day of the procedure. Our team will ensure you are fully prepared for a smooth experience.
During Your VenaSeal Procedure
- Local Anesthesia
Before the procedure begins, a small amount of local anesthetic will be administered to numb the treatment area. This ensures your comfort throughout the entire process. You will remain awake and aware during the treatment.
- Catheter Insertion
A tiny incision is made, and a small catheter is carefully inserted into the diseased vein. This catheter allows for the precise delivery of the medical adhesive. Dr. Fayad uses ultrasound guidance to navigate the catheter accurately.
- Adhesive Application
The specialized VenaSeal adhesive is then delivered in small amounts along the length of the vein. As the adhesive is applied, external compression is used to ensure the vein walls stick together. This process effectively seals the vein shut.
- Procedure Completion
Once the entire length of the diseased vein is sealed, the catheter is removed, and a small bandage is applied. The procedure typically takes between 30 to 60 minutes, depending on the number of veins treated. You can usually stand and walk immediately after.

VenaSeal Recovery
Immediate Post-Procedure
After your VenaSeal procedure, you can typically resume normal activities almost immediately. There is no need for compression stockings, unlike some other vein treatments. This allows for a very convenient and quick return to your daily routine.
Minimal Discomfort
Patients generally experience minimal discomfort after VenaSeal. Any mild soreness or bruising at the access site usually resolves quickly. Over-the-counter pain relievers can manage any temporary sensations.
Activity Recommendations
While strenuous activities might be advised against for a short period, light walking is encouraged to promote healthy circulation. Follow any specific post-procedure instructions provided by Dr. Fayad. This helps optimize your recovery.
Follow-Up Appointment
A follow-up appointment will be scheduled to assess your progress and ensure the treated vein remains closed. An ultrasound may be performed to confirm successful vein closure and proper blood flow. This ensures the long-term effectiveness of your treatment.
Expected Results Timeline
Patients often notice an improvement in symptoms and appearance within days to weeks after VenaSeal. The sealed vein will gradually shrink and be absorbed by the body. Full results, including reduced visibility of varicose veins, typically become evident over several months as your body adjusts.
