Nonsurgical Varicose Vein Treatment on Long Island - No Heat, No Sclerosing
Varicose veins don’t just change how your legs look. In many cases, they leave you with daily aching, burning, fatigue and heaviness that’s hard to ignore. At the Varicose Vein Center in Port Jefferson Village, we offer advanced, medically proven varicose vein solutions to help you feel better and get back to living fully.
VenaSeal is one of the most effective and least invasive treatments available today. If you’ve been told you need surgery but are hoping for a gentler, no-downtime alternative, this may be the option you’ve been looking for.
VenaSeal uses medical-grade adhesive to close diseased veins. Dr. Ninia identifies the precise area of need using ultrasound guidance, then injects the adhesive using a tiny catheter.
The VenaSeal closure system is a safe and effective treatment with a high success rate. There is little, if any, pain and no downtime.
VenaSeal can treat:
VenaSeal treats varicose veins at the source by sealing off the vein that’s no longer functioning properly. The vein is closed with specially formulated medical adhesive rather than heat or chemical agents.
Through a single injection, the VenaSeal adhesive glues the walls of the vein together. Once the problematic vein is sealed shut, blood can no longer pass through it, and your body reroutes blood flow through healthier vessels.
Symptoms improve quickly after correcting the underlying circulation problem. Your body gradually absorbs the treated vein tissue, and the visible varicose vein fades away.
VenaSeal is performed right in our office, often in under an hour. You’ll be awake the entire time and able to go home shortly after.
Dr. Ninia begins with a detailed ultrasound of your leg to map out the diseased vein and plan your treatment.
He then cleans the skin over the treatment site and numbs the area with local anesthetic. Most patients feel only a quick sting or pinch.
Dr. Ninia inserts a slim catheter (a tiny medical tube) into the targeted vein, guided in real time by ultrasound. He begins placing drops of medical adhesive along the length of the vein using a preloaded syringe attached to a dispensing tool.
With each placement, he applies gentle pressure externally to help the vein walls seal shut.
Once the vein is sealed, Dr. Ninia removes the catheter and places a small adhesive bandage over the access point. No stitches are needed.
You relax briefly in our recovery area before heading home. Dr. Ninia will review your follow-up plan and answer any questions before you leave.
Most patients are pleasantly surprised by how simple recovery is after VenaSeal.
You might notice mild tenderness, bruising or a small bump at the access site. These usually fade within a few days. Over-the-counter medications like ibuprofen can help relieve any soreness.
Compression stockings are optional. Dr. Ninia may recommend light use for added comfort, but they’re not required as part of recovery. You can return to normal activity right away.
VenaSeal is not only effective in the short term but also offers lasting relief from varicose vein symptoms. In a randomized controlled trial, 94.6% of patients had complete closure of the treated vein five years after the procedure. The study also found that 9 out of 10 patients would choose VenaSeal again.
VenaSeal is an excellent option for many people dealing with varicose veins and their symptoms. You may be a good candidate if:
