Your body has two vein systems containing both deep and superficial veins. The veins treated during venaseal in Lynchburg are mostly superficial. Once closed off, the blood flow is redirected to deeper veins, which are responsible for most of your blood flow anyway. You have many veins in both systems, so collapsing the varicose veins should not affect your health in any way.

Immediate and Lasting Vein Closure
Varicose veins are known to affect 1 in 3 people. These twisted veins are not only unsightly, but they can also cause discomfort and pain. If left untreated, they can prevent blood flow to your heart and cause serious medical issues later down the road.
The Venaseal closure system in Lynchburg uses a proprietary medical adhesive to re-direct blood to stronger veins, improving both medical and aesthetic concerns. This treatment is non-thermal and does not require tumescent, allowing for additional comfort and an expedited recovery.
How VenaSeal Works
Bringing You Results
The VenaSeal closure system delivers immediate and lasting vein closure by using a medical adhesive formula to collapse varicose veins. We begin your appointment by mapping out your veins with an ultrasound, giving us an accurate guide for your varicose vein treatment. Then we place a catheter into the varicose vein we want to treat and precisely deliver the adhesive using a dispensing gun.
The medical adhesive begins to bond with the innermost coating of the vein and compression is applied to close the varicose vein. Once the vein fails, your body automatically begins rerouting blood to new and healthier veins while your damaged vein shrinks over the course of a month. This closure system is non-thermal and does not require post-procedure compression stockings.
