Sclerotherapy

Sclerotherapy is a medical procedure used to eliminate varicose veins and spider veins. Sclerotherapy involves an injection of a solution (generally a salt solution) directly into the vein. The solution irritates the lining of the blood vessel, causing it to swell and stick together, and the blood to clot. Over time, the vessel turns into scar tissue that fades from view.

How Is Sclerotherapy Done?

In most cases, the salt solution is injected through a very fine needle directly into the vein. At this point, you may experience mild discomfort for one to two minutes, especially when larger veins are injected. The procedure itself takes approximately 15 to 30 minutes. You should plan to wear shorts during the injection.

Sclerotherapy Benefits:

• No downtime. Patients can immediately resume work and all normalactivities. But the patient is advised to refrain from vigorous activities for the first 24 hrs.
• Little if any discomfort.
• A safe, time-proven procedure.
