Venaseal for varicose veins, sclerotherapy injection treatment review

I had sclerotherapy for varicose veins in my legs in January 2023, and after about a year and a half, the symptoms of varicose veins reappeared. In January 2025, I received four sclerotherapy injections. Since it was a follow-up visit, I received discounts for ultrasound and sclerotherapy injections.

Some people experience immediate improvement after varicose vein surgery, but I was worried because my symptoms remained for a month after the surgery. However, after a month, all symptoms suddenly disappeared, and I was told to come back in three months, but I didn't go.

I don't think there are any posts about having undergone treatment for varicose veins, so I am posting this in hopes that it might be of some help.

When visiting the hospital for varicose veins, please be sure to confirm the ultrasound cost, the availability of the desired surgery type, and the cost by phone before you go.

Ultrasound examination is essential for an accurate diagnosis, but the cost varies from 50,000 to 250,000 won.

Some places perform only laser surgeries, while others can perform all types of surgeries.

I paid 8 million won for a nearly side-effect-free Venasil surgery on only my left leg. I had it done at the most expensive hospital, filed a claim for actual medical expenses, met with an claims adjuster, and received the insurance payout after two months. The sclerotherapy injections also vary from 100,000 to 250,000 won per area.

There were no major complications after the Benasil surgery, but after the surgery, I had a severe allergic reaction to the band adhesive on the pressure bandage in one area, which caused some trouble. The allergy improves with medication, but it lasts for about two weeks.

My symptoms are very diverse: I have bulging blood vessels, numbness and pain in my hips after sitting for a long time, swollen and heavy feet in the morning, frequent cramps in my legs, numbness in my hands when I lie down with my hands on my abdomen, cold hands and feet, and many other symptoms. All these symptoms did not appear at once but appeared alternately over a period of 1 to 2 months.

If the symptoms are already severe, exercise will not be effective. I think it is best to receive an accurate diagnosis, undergo treatment, and then combine exercise to maintain good health.
