What is Sclerotherapy?
Sclerotherapy is used to treat those unwanted spider veins on the lower legs.
How does Sclerotherapy work?
Sclerotherapy is a procedure where a Sclerosing solution is injected into the veins. This makes the vein walls sticky and stick together, so that your body can remove these abnormal veins via natural processes. This removes them from the skin, so they are no longer visible.
Are you a candidate for Sclerotherapy?
Anyone who has abnormal purple, squiggly veins that are unwanted on their lower legs, is a candidate for Sclerotherapy. To prepare for your Sclerotherapy treatment, you must purchase compression stockings with 20-30 mmHg to bring with you to your appointment. It is important that you bring your compression stockings with you because you wear these immediately after the procedure and for 24 hours a day, the first week after the treatment and then for 12 hours a day while you are awake, the second week after the treatment.
What must patients do after Sclerotherapy treatment?
Wearing your compression stocking after your procedure is an essential part of your treatment because it is this external compression that presses the sticky vein walls together so that your body can remove them by natural processes.
What should Sclerotherapy patients expect on treatment day?
On Sclerotherapy treatment day you will check-in at the skin and vein institute. We will bring you back to your treatment room where the Sclerotherapy will be performed, which takes about 30 – 45 minutes. Your compression stocking will be applied afterwards, and then you will be sent home to rest and relax.
Is Sclerotherapy safe and effective?
Sclerotherapy is both safe and effective. It is one of the best treatments out there to get rid of those unwanted spider veins on your lower legs.
