What is sclerotherapy and what are their effects on health? Sclerotherapy is a treatment that consists of the elimination of spider veins and certain types of varicose veins problems using substances that are injected directly into them, which cause damage to the walls of these vessels, turning them into fibrous cords (a process called sclerosis) and therefore, obliterates these varicose veins.
The blood circulating in these varicose veins is then transferred to the healthy veins, thus eliminating both the visibility of these varicose veins and their symptoms. What compounds are used in varicose sclerotherapy? The most commonly used compounds are of three types: detergents, osmotic and chemical. The detergent compounds, despite their name, have a specific functioning that opens the vein and allows its inflammation and subsequent disappearance. They are the most used and effective for spider vein disease. On the other hand, the osmotic agents provoke the dehydration of the area, thus achieving the destruction of the vein, and the chemical agents injure the cells of the walls of the veins to achieve the desired effect. Spider vein removal before and after results will be quite effective. Any of these three agents, which cover different classes, can be used by your doctor in the application of the treatment. If you have doubts, you can ask about the effects that these compounds can have on the treatment and the subsequent periods. What is the sclerotherapy process? This spider vein therapy is only done by a medical specialist, which has the appropriate chemicals to induce the process of sclerosis, explained above, in your varicose and varicose veins.
