What is Sclerotherapy? |
 |
| |
Sclerotherapy is an effective, safe and easy
way to eliminate visible surface veins. It consists
of a series of injections scheduled in two-week
intervals. Injections are done using the smallest
and finest needles available, and a solution injected
into a vein to eventually dissolve the vein.
At your first exam we will determine the number
of sessions you will need to achieve the results
you want. On average, most people will need 3
sessions. However, number of sessions does also
depend on size of veins and amount of area that
are desired to be treated. Each treatment requires
only 30 minutes of time.
Sclerotherapy is effective for all veins, from
the larger varicose veins to the smallest spider
veins.
Sclerotherapy is a safe, simple and effective
method of treating unwanted veins. It is minimally
invasive and virtually painless. When sclerotherapy
is done, anesthesia is not necessary, and you
may resume normal activity immediately.
