Surface Sclerotherapy
Sclerotherapy is a treatment that involves a “sclerosant” solution being injected directly into affected veins dealing with varicose vein disease and spider veins. The treatment essentially closes the affected vein off and redirects blood to healthier, fully functioning veins. This then causes an improvement to leg pain and appearance.
This treatment method can be performed using liquid injections or foam injections. The liquid version is used for smaller veins on the surface of the skin while the foam version and its heightened effect are used for larger veins in more grave conditions as well as during ultrasounds.
During your first visit with Dr. Reynolds, he will go over the treatment options available to you regarding your specific vein issue and inform you on whether or not you are eligible for Sclerotherapy. If you are pregnant, are allergic to sclerosant, experience blood clotting or bleeding episodes with immobility, you will not be eligible for this specific treatment plan. If you are eligible, however, you can expect to have approximately 3-4 visits for your treatment with four weeks between each visit.
