Could I Be A Good Candidate For Sclerotherapy?
Jan 08, 2021
Did you know that vein treatments have come a long way in recent years? The advances that have occurred however, do not diminish the value of the time and tested procedure called sclerotherapy. This safe and effective procedure is commonly performed to eliminate or decrease visible spider and varicose veins. If you have visible or painful veins that you would like to have removed, you need to know about sclerotherapy.
Sclerotherapy Explained
Sclerotherapy is an injection-based vein treatment that has been around since the 1930’s. It is minimally invasive and works by depositing a sclerosing agent into a vein. The fluid that is inserted into the vein causes it to collapse in on itself. The walls of the vein stick together, preventing blood from circulating through. As blood flow redirects to a nearby vein, the visible spider or varicose vein is absorbed naturally back into the body and it disappears.
Is Sclerotherapy Right for Me?
Sclerotherapy is appropriate for patients of any age. Sclerotherapy is a proven treatment option that has helped many people deal with uncomfortable and unattractive vein problems. The treatment can help with symptoms such as heaviness, swelling, burning, aching, and itching that can accompany unhealthy veins.
The Benefits of Sclerotherapy
- Sclerotherapy is an outpatient, non-surgical treatment that does not require anesthesia or a stay in the hospital. No incisions are made, only a few injections.
- Patients who receive sclerotherapy treatment for spider veins or varicose veins do not need to take time off for recovery.
- Patients are much more comfortable when sitting or standing for any length of time following sclerotherapy treatments.
- Patients can have an improved appearance. Daytona area has enough nice weather that the ability to wear shorts and skirts without being self-conscious can become a determining factor for those with unattractive veins. After the veins collapse and get absorbed, they disappear, and the skin can return to a healthier appearance.
- The results of sclerotherapy can start to become visible in just a few weeks.
