Tired of unsightly varicose and spider veins affecting your confidence? At Eterna Vein & Medical Aesthetics in Puyallup, Washington, we specialize in minimally invasive vein treatments that can help give you smoother, more beautiful skin. VenaSeal™ Closure System is a non-thermal solution that uses medical adhesive to close troublesome veins without the need for heat, tumescent anesthesia, or downtime.
Under the direction of Mark Kim, MD, RVT, RPVI, a board-certified vascular specialist with more than two decades of clinical experience, our practice blends deep medical insight with advanced aesthetic techniques. Every treatment is performed with intention in a welcoming setting.
What Is VenaSeal?
VenaSeal is a minimally invasive, FDA-approved treatment that uses a medical-grade adhesive to close off damaged superficial veins, most commonly in the legs. Once the affected vein is sealed, blood is naturally rerouted to healthier veins, improving circulation and eliminating the appearance of unsightly veins.
Unlike traditional vein ablation procedures that rely on heat or laser, VenaSeal offers the following advantages:
- Requires no tumescent anesthesia
- Has little to no post-procedure bruising
- Offers a fast, comfortable recovery
- Is ideal for patients sensitive to thermal-based treatments
Benefits of VenaSeal
VenaSeal provides numerous benefits for patients seeking cosmetic vein treatment:
- No need for compression stockings post-treatment
- Quick in-office procedure, often under 30 minutes
- Minimally invasive, with little to no downtime
- No heat or nerve damage risk
- Immediate return to normal activity
- Clinically proven, long-lasting results
What to Expect During the VenaSeal Procedure
- Ultrasound Mapping: We use ultrasound to identify the affected veins and guide precise treatment.
- Tiny Catheter Insertion: A small catheter is inserted into the targeted vein.
- Adhesive Delivery: The VenaSeal adhesive is delivered along the length of the vein to seal it shut.
- Closure & Healing: Once the vein is closed, it is gradually absorbed by the body, and blood is rerouted to healthy veins.
You can walk immediately after the procedure, and most patients resume normal activities the same day.
