DIFFERENCE BETWEEN VENASEAL & ENDOVENOUS LASER ABLATION TREATMENTS

Endovenous procedures like endovenous laser and radiofrequency based procedures were a huge step forward compared to vein stripping and ligation. Still, in said endovenous procedures, heat is used to ablate varicose veins, requiring multiple needles sticks to administer tumescent anesthesia around the vein. That is not the case with Venaseal.

VENASEAL DIFFERENCE

  • No heat is involved in Venaseal.
  • Tumescent anesthesia is not needed in Venaseal.
  • Venaseal avoids multiple needle sticks which are required in endovenous laser ablation.
  • The result is a lot less pain and none to minimize bruising.
  • Compression stockings not needed

  • Sometimes can result in bruising or nerve injury
  • Compression stockings are needed.
