Drag the slider on each pair to compare before and after photographs of patients who underwent minimally invasive vein closure. Identifying information removed; each patient is referenced by number only.
Each slider below shows the same patient's leg before treatment and after the same vein had been closed using a minimally invasive procedure — either ClosureFast radiofrequency ablation or VenaSeal.
Results vary by patient — these are real outcomes, not curated highlights. Bulging veins typically begin to fade within weeks as the closed vein is reabsorbed by the body and blood reroutes through nearby healthy veins.
