Medical Superglue (VenaSeaL) in Brisbane
VenaSeal takes a different approach to closing a faulty vein altogether. Instead of heat or multiple injections, a small amount of medical adhesive is used to seal the vein shut, making it one of the gentlest ways to treat larger varicose veins without a general anaesthetic.
Sealing the Vein with Medical Adhesive
Using ultrasound guidance, a thin catheter is guided into the vein through a single small entry point, usually near the top of the leg. Small, precise amounts of medical adhesive are then delivered along the length of the affected vein while gentle pressure holds it closed. Once sealed, blood reroutes naturally through healthy veins nearby, and the treated vein gradually fades from view as your body reabsorbs it over the following months.
Minimal Downtime, No Compression Required
Is VenaSeal Right for Your Veins?
VenaSeal works well for many patients, but it isn’t automatically the first option Dr Aziz reaches for. As a qualified vascular and general surgeon, he’ll weigh it against radiofrequency ablation, sclerotherapy, and surgery based on what your ultrasound scan shows, so you’re offered the treatment that genuinely suits your veins, not just the newest option available on the market.
