Sclerotherapy

With Sclerotherapy, the problem vein is not only identified on the surface, at VeinTherapies, we also utilize a special light or ultrasound that helps us follow the surface veins down below the skin. We not only treat the branches, we treat the trunk as well! The physician injects an FDA-approved solution into the problem vein with a very fine needle, causing the vein wall to become sticky. Following the injections, the patient wears prescription-grade compression stockings for 5 days, adhering the vein walls together and preventing the vein from filling with blood again. The body then breaks down the damaged vein and absorbs it, causing it to disappear over time. The procedure is relatively painless, and you are able to resume many normal activities immediately.
