Sclerotherapy

Ultrasound Guided Foam Sclerotherapy

Ultrasound-guided foam sclerotherapy is a treatment used to collapse and close off spider and varicose veins.

Sclerotherapy utilizes an FDA approved solution (may include glycerin, polidocanol, or sodium tetradecyl sulfate) that is injected into the vein. Sclerotherapy often causes problematic veinsto disappear or lighten; however, the results of sclerotherapy are not always predictable.

 

With all medical procedures, there is potential for side effects or post-treatment symptoms. Common symptoms include, but are not limited to, hyperpigmentation, minor discomfort, and burning. It is crucial to continuously use compression hose for 48 hours after a sclerotherapy procedure in order to maintain the treatment. Sclerotherapy requires multiple injections.

Cosmetic (Wet) Sclerotherapy

Liquid sclerotherapy is the treatment of spider or small veins close to the surface of the skin.

Similar to foam sclerotherapy a small needle is used to inject an FDA approved solution (may include sodium tetradecyl sulfate or polidocanol) into the vein. Liquid sclerotherapy is commonly recommended for small veins near the skins surface up to 2mm in diameter.

With all medical procedures, there is potential for side-effects or post-treatment symptoms. Common symptoms include, but are not limited to, hyperpigmentation, minor discomfort, and burning. It is crucial to continuously use compression hose for 48 hours after a sclerotherapy procedure in order to maintain the treatment. Sclerotherapy requires multiple injections.
