Is Venaseal superior to Varithena injections? 96% success with the glue, how about 4% that fails, do you do Venaseal again?

sp720Apr 28, 2020
I have had Varicose Vein tx with Varithena (foam sclerotherapy) injections. I have had 3 sessions with good results. I know new veins can develop anytime. My doc does not believe in Venaseal since no long term studies are available. Can I still be a candidate for Venaseal in the future? Does the Glue stay in the body forever? I have read articles that the glue works in GSV but no so well in SSV, is this true? Can yearly Varithena injections harm the body?

The veins on the posted picture look normal, are common and I would recommend no further treatment of them.
