Sclerotherapy
Safe & Efficient Treatments for Varicose & Spider Veins
Sclerotherapy is an effective, minimally invasive treatment that safely reduces or eliminates spider veins with minimal discomfort, offering a quick solution for smoother legs. For larger varicose veins, Ultrasound-Guided Foam Sclerotherapy is a modern alternative to surgical stripping. This virtually painless procedure improves vein appearance and reduces health risks associated with blood pooling, all while providing faster results with little to no downtime.

varicose veins
Foam/ultrasound-guided sclerotherapy is a highly effective, non-surgical treatment option for varicose veins. Using ultrasound technology to locate the affected veins, a sclerosing foam solution is injected, causing the vein walls to collapse and seal shut. Blood flow is then redirected to healthier veins, resulting in reduced symptoms and an improved appearance.
This treatment offers several benefits, including minimal discomfort, quick recovery, and high success rates. Consult with a qualified medical professional to determine if foam/ultrasound-guided sclerotherapy is the most appropriate solution for your specific varicose vein concerns.

Some blood may get trapped in the treated veins. In that case, the vessels may initially appear more prominent, with firm lumps. These vessels will eventually get smaller with time, but if the lumps are problematic, some of that trapped blood can easily be drained in the office.
SPIDER veins
Cosmetic sclerotherapy is a minimally invasive procedure used primarily for the treatment of spider veins. It involves injecting a solution, typically a saline-based agent, directly into the affected veins, causing irritation and eventual collapse. As a result, blood flow is redirected to healthier veins, and the treated spider veins gradually fade, improving the overall appearance of the skin.
This procedure offers several advantages, including minimal discomfort, little to no downtime, and high success rates for many patients. It's essential to consult with a qualified medical professional to determine if cosmetic sclerotherapy is the most suitable treatment option for your specific needs.
