Sclerotherapy

Sclerotherapy can be used to treat both varicose and spider veins. A very small needle is used to inject the veins with a medication that irritates the lining of the vein. In response, the veins collapse and are reabsorbed into the body. The surface veins are no longer visible. Sclerotherapy relieves symptoms due to varicose and spider veins in most patients. With this procedure, veins can be dealt with at an early stage, to help prevent further complications.

Ultrasound Guided Sclerotherapy

Ultrasound Guided Sclerotherapy is an in-office treatment alternative to surgical stripping for varicose veins. With this technique, sclerotherapy is done while the medical professional visually monitors the vein on an ultrasound screen. This enables the treatment of veins that might otherwise require surgical removal.
