VenaSeal is a minimally invasive treatment for varicose veins, which involves the use of a medical-grade adhesive. VenaSeal seals varicose veins, alleviating discomfort and bulging. After treatment, your body redirects blood flow to healthier routes and begins breaking down the treated vessel.

VenaSeal and Vein Treatment Resources
How VenaSeal Works
When you receive VenaSeal in Fort Myers, our specialists use a medical adhesive to close varicose veins and reroute blood flow.
Your provider begins by identifying the damaged veins with ultrasound technology. Then they use a syringe to administer a small amount of vein “superglue” at various points of the vessels to efficiently close them off. Once the veins close, blood flow redirects through healthier nearby veins.
After your session, your body gradually absorbs the treated veins. This process can reduce pressure in the leg, minimize your symptoms, and improve the appearance of the visible veins.
VenaSeal FAQs
Insurance coverage depends on the medical necessity of treating the vein, as well as what your insurance covers specifically. Since varicose veins can lead to further complications, many insurance companies do cover the cost of treatment.
To determine the medical necessity, we use venous ultrasounds to view the size of your vein and how well blood flows through it. This analysis can support insurance coverage.
No. Most patients return to daily activities after VenaSeal. In Fort Myers, your provider wraps your leg in a compression bandage after treatment, which you should keep on for 24 to 48 hours.
In addition, we recommend:
- Taking short walks to enhance circulation
- Avoiding baths, saunas, pools, and hot tubs
- Keeping the treated area protected from the sun
- Avoiding prolonged sitting or standing
- Taking anti-inflammatory medications as directed
After VenaSeal, you might experience a mild reaction to treatment. Our providers let you know that this is a normal part of healing and should be expected. These symptoms should subside on their own.
After your VenaSeal treatment, you might experience:
- Redness
- Warmth
- Swelling
- Bruising
- Itching
- Tenderness
- A pulling sensation
- Localized pain
For any of these side effects, you can take anti-inflammatory medications as directed. Within the first 48 hours after your appointment, you can use ice to soothe the area. After the first 48 hours, you can use a moist, warm compress.

Most patients tolerate VenaSeal injections well, and often report feeling a slight pressure, a small pinch, or mild discomfort during the procedure.
Because VenaSeal does not use heat, we do not require numbing injections along the vein, but we can use a topical anesthetic if needed.
When scheduling treatment for VenaSeal in Fort Myers, our patients only need one appointment for the targeted vein. This makes VenaSeal an effective treatment that suits many lifestyles, and with no downtime, you can enhance your vascular health and get back to doing things you love quickly.
