When varicose veins prevent you from feeling confident about the appearance of your legs, springtime can bring dread. This season, before you agonize over ways to cover up your legs, consider an effective way to eliminate visible bulging veins.
Here at Advanced Heart and Vascular Associates, in Hudson and Brooksville, Florida, our skilled vascular intervention specialist, Dr. Nader Chadda, offers multiple treatments for varicose veins, with Venaseal™ being highly effective.
Varicose veins develop when valves inside the veins fail, allowing blood to pool rather than flow efficiently back to the heart. Over time, this pressure causes veins to enlarge, twist, and become visible under the skin.
In many cases, varicose veins don’t cause symptoms, but when they do, it’s typical for your legs to experience:
Symptoms are often more pronounced in the evening, after you’ve been walking and standing throughout the day. Left untreated, venous insufficiency can progress, making symptoms worse and limiting daily activities. Addressing problem veins early can significantly improve comfort and long-term vein health.
VenaSeal is a non-thermal, non-sclerosing vein closure technique that uses a medical adhesive to seal diseased veins shut. Once the diseased vein is closed, blood naturally reroutes through healthier veins, improving overall circulation in the leg.
Unlike traditional sclerotherapy, which relies on chemical irritation to collapse smaller veins, VenaSeal does not cause inflammation of the vein wall.
Without heat or chemical irritation, VenaSeal typically results in less bruising, less swelling, and less post-procedure discomfort.
VenaSeal stands out as a streamlined procedure. When you visit our office for this procedure, you can expect your session to take just 20-30 minutes, making it easy to fit into a busy schedule. Additionally, Venaseal can treat multiple veins in a single visit.
Because no heat is involved, patients usually don’t need compression stockings afterward, an especially appealing advantage for active individuals. Many patients return to normal activities the same day.
Compared with traditional vein treatments, recovery with VenaSeal is notably easier. There are no anesthetic injections along the vein, and most patients experience minimal tenderness at the access site.
Sclerotherapy, while effective for certain vein types, can cause localized irritation and minor bruising at injection sites. Heat-based treatments may also lead to temporary nerve irritation or more pronounced bruising. These risks are significantly reduced with VenaSeal.
VenaSeal is especially effective for larger varicose veins that cause ongoing discomfort. A 3-year study found treatment with VenaSeal resulted in sustained effectiveness, reduced symptoms, and an improved quality of life.
Many patients begin noticing symptom relief within days to weeks of treatment, with continued improvement as circulation stabilizes.
Dr. Chadda’s extensive experience in endovascular intervention plays a critical role in achieving optimal outcomes. With a high case volume and a long-standing commitment to high standards of care, he carefully evaluates each patient’s vein anatomy and symptoms to determine whether VenaSeal or another approach is the best fit.
Varicose veins don’t have to limit how you feel or move this spring. With advanced options like VenaSeal, treatment can be efficient, comfortable, and effective, without putting your life on hold.
