ClosureFast™

What is ClosureFast?

ClosureFast is a minimally invasive thermal treatment for varicose veins, other diseased veins, and chronic venous insufficiency. It’s a painless outpatient treatment that uses thermal energy to shrink vein walls and close treated veins without invasive procedures. Blood then reroutes to healthier nearby veins, easing bothersome or unsightly symptoms. 

What are the benefits of ClosureFast?

ClosureFast offers an array of benefits, including:

• Symptom relief after two days
• Noticeable vein improvements after 1-2 weeks
• Proven results
• Positive patient experiences
• Little to no discomfort
• Less bruising and pain than laser treatments
• Rapid recovery
• Long-lasting results
• Utmost safety and effectiveness 

Usually, you can treat one leg at a time. You may need 5-10 needle sticks to numb the area and one stick to obtain access to the affected vein. 

Am I a candidate for ClosureFast for varicose veins?

The Upper East Side Vein Institute offers numerous treatments for varicose and spider veins. The best option depends on your symptoms, the size and number of diseased veins you have, your lifestyle, and your treatment preferences. You also need ultrasound imaging of the leg being treated. Your provider tailors a solution that matches your goals. 

What happens during a ClosureFast procedure?

During ClosureFast treatment, your specialist cleans and numbs the treatment area and uses ultrasound guidance to position a catheter in a diseased vein by making a small opening in your skin. The catheter delivers heat to the walls of the vein, causing shrinkage and sealing the vein closed. Blood then reroutes to healthier veins. 

What should I expect after treatment?

After completing a ClosureFast procedure, you rest in a recovery area. Your provider applies a bandage to the insertion site and gives you a compression stocking to wear to optimize healing. Common side effects include redness, swelling, or tenderness.

It’s important to walk around, but avoid extended periods of standing or heavy exercise until given the okay. You can generally resume normal activities within a few days. 

Many insurance plans cover ClosureFast procedures and other radiofrequency treatments.
