Outstanding Vein Treatment Outcome With Venaseal

I made an appointment to see Dr. Shaheen for significant varicose veins and a large mass of veins on my right leg. Dr. Shaheen was very communicative during the pre-procedure consultation and offered a couple of treatment options. After weighing the pros and cons, we concluded that Venaseal would be the best choice. Dr. Shaheen initially thought that it might take a total of 2 to 3 treatments since the varicosities were so severe. The procedure took about 30 minutes and consisted of a small puncture near the ankle and threading a small diameter catheter up the saphenous vein. Ultrasound guidance was used to determine the location of the catheter tip, and a small amount of adhesive was introduced into the vein at several different points. After the procedure, the leg was wrapped in an elastic bandage and I was free to go. In terms of results, the pictures tell the story. These results were after only one single treatment. The first post-treatment picture was about 1.5 weeks and the second picture was 12 weeks post-treatment. The results are outstanding and greatly exceeded my expectations. I would definitely recommend Dr. Shaheen.
