At Athens Vein & Aesthetics we offer the VenaSeal™ closure system to treat patients with venous reflux or chronic venous insufficiency.
This minimally invasive treatment delivers a small amount of a specially formulated medical adhesive to seal—or close—the diseased vein, rerouting blood to nearby healthy veins, and providing symptom relief.
This is a unique approach that eliminates the risk of nerve injury when treating the great and small saphenous vein.
“The VenaSeal™ closure system is a safe and effective treatment, offering significant improvement in quality of life.”
Dr. Chris Malone
Most patients report little to no discomfort or bruising with this closure method; however, we offer the Pro-Nox Nitrous Oxide System for pain and anxiety relief.
Athens Vein and Thoracic Specialists is one of the few practices in the area offering this combination of oxygen and nitrous oxide which is effective enough to ease your pain and anxiety without additional medication..
You’ll have follow-up care as needed.
You’ll be scheduled for a follow-up ultrasound in 1 week to verify that the vein has remained closed.
Additional follow-up office appointments with ultrasound will be performed at regular intervals for the first year following the procedure in order to document long term closure of the treated vein.
Our vein specialists use state-of-the-art diagnostic tools to determine your eligibility for the procedure.
Just like with any medical procedure, there are associated risks and complications with VenaSeal™. Once we have a full assessment, we review your medical history to rule out other conditions that could present any risks.

Primary Care vs Vein Specialist
Primary care physician possesses a broad knowledge base that covers a range of ailments and diseases. While they can diagnose vein disease correctly, they may not have the same level of expertise in this specific area.
Therefore, if you suspect that you may be suffering from vein disease, it is often more prudent to seek the guidance of a vein treatment specialist directly. By doing so, you increase the chances of receiving an accurate diagnosis and appropriate treatment without the risk of being misdiagnosed or experiencing delayed care. Ultimately, a vein treatment specialist's specialized focus and expertise make them the ideal choice for addressing vein diseases comprehensively and effectively.
