What is Glue Treatment?
Glue treatment, also known as the Venaseal™ Closure System, is an advanced, non-surgical option for treating varicose veins. Instead of heat or lasers, it uses a medical-grade adhesive (glue) to seal the faulty vein permanently.
How It Works
- The affected vein is identified with ultrasound.
- A tiny catheter is inserted into the vein.
- A small amount of medical glue is delivered inside.
- The vein seals shut immediately, and blood is naturally rerouted to healthy veins.
Advantages of Glue Treatment
- No anesthesia injections along the vein (unlike laser)
- No heat, no risk of burns or nerve injury
- Virtually painless – only a needle prick
- No compression stockings needed for most patients
- Quick recovery – resume normal activities right away
Who is it Suitable For?
- Patients who want a needle-free, heat-free option
- Those unable to tolerate compression stockings
- People with busy lifestyles needing immediate recovery
Recovery After Treatment
- Most patients walk immediately after the procedure
- No need for prolonged rest or downtime
- No bandages or stockings in most cases
Takeaway
Glue treatment is one of the latest advancements in varicose vein therapy, offering a scar-free, stitch-free, and painless solution.
It’s an excellent alternative for patients who want to avoid heat-based treatments like EVLT.
