Today we talk about how sclerotherapy vein treatment can help you with your varicose veins.

Sclerotherapy? Never Heart of It

Sclerotherapy vein treatment is a specialized medical procedure that can eliminate conditions like varicose veins and spider veins. It’s incredibly effective, and USA Vein Clinics has been performing it for years. Our laser varicose vein treatment centers can offer you a wide array of options. But sclerotherapy is one of the most popular and effective. Minimally invasive and nonsurgical, sclerotherapy vein treatment lasts from 15 to 30 minutes and doesn’t require any anesthetic. Your doctor will usually perform it right in their office, meaning you can be up and out again in no time at all. Believe it or not, vein specialists have used sclerotherapy since the 1930s, and it’s just as effective now as it was then.

Sclerotherapy Procedure The sclerotherapy vein treatment procedure requires your doctor to inject a sclerosant into the affected veins. A sclerosant, usually a salt solution, is a specialized solution that irritates the blood vessel lining, causing it to collapse. The collapsed vein walls then stick together, causing the blood to clot and preventing blood flow. Over time, the destroyed vein will dissolve as it becomes scar tissue.

Eventually, it will fade completely. The number of veins treated per session depends on the severity of your condition. We also recommend avoiding aerobic activity for several days following treatment. Furthermore, you should avoid certain medications before treatment, such as Advil, Motrin, Nuprin or any antiinflammatory drugs.

Am I Right for Sclerotherapy?

While laser vein treatments like EVLT may be incredibly effective, they aren’t always the right fit for all patients. Sclerotherapy vein treatment is an excellent and proven-effective alternative for those uncomfortable with lasers. Our many laser varicose vein treatment centers comprise experienced and highly qualified physicians. They will help you through your treatment and see that you get the best results. They will also assess whether sclerotherapy is right for you. An initial consultation with a vascular medicine specialist will put you at ease, and give you a diagnosis. Sclerotherapy is suitable for most patients except those who are pregnant or have a frequent history of blood clots. Your overall health is also important in the assessment process.
