Foam sclerotherapy is a less invasive procedure ideal for both men and women to remove the ugly varicose veins & spider veins. In this procedure foam, the sclerosant is injected into the blood vessel to seal it. It helps direct the blood flow on its own via healthy veins thereby restoring the normal flow of blood.
Foam sclerotherapy is carried out in a clinic set up and the procedure lasts for nearly 30-40 minutes. During the procedure sclerosing agent is used in small quantities and injected with the help of a small needle inserted into your vein. The number of veins affected decides the number of the session each patient’s needs. Ideally, some patients need one or more sessions to get rid of varicose veins.
Foam Sclerotherapy proves to be an effective treatment for reticular veins and non-truncal veins. Reticular veins are blue veins and with Foam Sclerotherapy the veins are eliminated by dryness (sclerosis).
Once the treatment is over, you would notice relief and reduced heaviness in the leg and burning and itching cessation. The veins treated will slowly vanish.

Endovenous Glue (Venaseal) Therapy

One of the latest techniques for treating varicose veins is the use of Venaseal (Endovenous Glue). It is medical glue that closes and seals the primary damaged vein physically.
During the VenaSeal procedure, a small amount of VenaSeal vein glue is placed into the vein via a tiny catheter. After the damaged vein is sealed, blood is re-directed immediately via healthy veins in the leg.
In the case of VenaSeal, a higher dose of anesthesia or topical nerve block is not required. Also, the procedure doesn’t involve the use of pre-procedures drugs. Hence, the patients can resume regular activities immediately post-treatment.
VenaSeal procedure doesn’t involve risks like nerve damage or skin burns. The best thing is VenaSeal does not require any pain medication or compression stockings after the treatment. It is indeed an effective and painless treatment that lets you get rid of damaged veins without any hassles.
