Sclerotherapy Treatment

What is

An FDA-approved drug called a sclerosant is injected into varicose or spider veins during a technique known as sclerotherapy. This sclerosant causes the damaged capillaries to collapse and seal shut, effectively eliminating them and the symptoms they cause.

Benefits of the Sclerotherapy Procedure

General anesthesia is not required for procedures that are performed directly in the office. Patients experience minimal pain or discomfort and there is no scarring. There is also no downtime, making this a good option for people who want to improve their bodies without missing work or family obligations. Nobody needs to know you had surgery because there will be no visible signs. You will also not be required to take time off from work.

When your treatment is finished, the vascular specialist will apply a bandage to the injection site. You will be able to drive home or go back to work right away. Light activities can also be resumed on the same day.
