Dr. D in Los Angeles, California
Visit Dr. D at his vein treatment office in Los Angeles, California to treat varicose veins and venous reflux disease with VenaSeal™.
VenaSeal™ is a minimally invasive vein ablation procedure that treats varicose veins and venous reflux disease with a specialized medical glue. The medical adhesive closes the vein so it can be redirected to healthy veins. The sealed vein will be naturally absorbed by the body over time.

Benefits of non-thermal vein ablation
No Heat or Lasers:
VenaSeal™ uses medical glue instead of heat or lasers, so there is virtually no risk of burning the skin or thermal nerve damage.
Fewer Injections:
With non-thermal vein ablation there is no need for multiple numbing agents along the vein. You will receive a single, local-anesthetic to numb the entry site on the leg.
No Compression Stockings:
Many other vein treatments require tight stockings for several weeks following the procedure, VenaSeal™ eliminates this post-treatment requirement.
Fast Recovery:
Patients typically experience minimal discomfort, bruising, or swelling and can resume daily routines immediately following the treatment.
Who is a candidate?
Prime candidates for the VenaSeal™ treatment are patients with chronic venous insufficiency and symptomatic varicose veins, but want to receive heatless treatment. Dr. D will confirm your candidacy for the treatment through a duplex ultrasound mapping to check for venous reflux (backward blood flow).

FAQ about VenaSeal™
VenaSeal™ is a FDA-approved procedure that uses specialized, medical-grade adhesive (cyanoacrylate), or “vein glue,” to seal damaged or diseased veins in the legs. The VenaSeal™ Closure System is intended to treat chronic venous insufficiency, or venous reflux disease.
VenaSeal™ is generally pain-free and minimally invasive.
Following the VenaSeal™ procedure, patients can typically return to normal activities immediately. You can return to work in 1-2 days and complete closure of the treated vein will occur within 5-7 days.
The key difference between VenaSeal™ and laser or radiofrequency ablation is that VenaSeal™ is thermal-free. Laser vein removal and Radiofrequency ablation uses heat to destroy and collapse the vein. VenaSeal™ uses a medical-grade adhesive to seal the vein shut.
Yes, the VenaSeal™ procedure is a permanent solution for the targeted veins. The diseased vein is sealed shut and gradually absorbed by the body and replaced by scar tissue. VenaSeal™ can provide long-lasting relief, but new varicose veins can potentially develop in other areas over time.
