QUESTIONS & ANSWERS

  • HOW DOES VENCLOSE WORK?

    A blue and white device with a hose attached to it.

    Venclose™ uses controlled radiofrequency energy to seal problematic veins, particularly:

    • Great saphenous vein (inner thigh and calf)
    • Small saphenous vein (back of calf)

    Expert Insight: By sealing these problematic veins, we reduce pressure throughout the leg's venous system, addressing both visible symptoms and underlying circulation issues.


  • WHAT DOES THE PROCEDURE ENTAIL?

    Our board-certified specialists perform Venclose™ with precision through a tiny access point:

    • Minimal 3mm incision
    • Local anesthetic for comfort
    • Ultrasound-guided precision
    • No large surgical incisions needed

    Expert Insight: Venclose™ achieves the same beneficial results as traditional vein stripping but with significantly less invasiveness and faster recovery.

  • WHAT RESULTS CAN I EXPECT?

    Most patients notice significant improvement in symptoms within days of treatment. As the treated vein is sealed, blood naturally redirects through healthy veins, improving overall circulation. Visible varicose veins typically diminish gradually over the following weeks.

  • HOW LONG IS THE RECOVERY PERIOD?

    The minimally invasive nature of Venclose™ allows most patients to return to normal activities within 24-48 hours. We provide specific post-procedure guidelines based on your individual situation, but general activities can usually resume immediately.

  • IS THE PROCEDURE PAINFUL?

    Venclose™ is designed for patient comfort. Local anesthesia ensures you remain comfortable throughout the procedure. Most patients report minimal discomfort and are pleasantly surprised by how gentle the treatment feels.

  • I'M ANXIOUS ABOUT MY UPCOMING PROCEDURE. WHAT OPTIONS ARE AVAILABLE TO HELP ME FEEL MORE COMFORTABLE?

    At Vascular Solutions, we understand that procedures can cause anxiety. During your initial consultation, you can discuss the option of using Pro-Nox (“laughing gas”) with your provider. Pro-Nox is a patient-controlled nitrous oxide system that helps reduce anxiety and discomfort during procedures. This quick-acting option allows most patients to drive themselves home after a brief 15-minute recovery period.


    Key points to discuss with your provider:


    • Your specific anxiety concerns
    • Previous experiences with medical procedures
    • Current medications, including anti-anxiety medications
    • Medical history that might affect Pro-Nox use

    Cost ($150 per treatment, self-pay)


    Contact our office if you have immediate questions about anxiety management options.
