What is Sclerotherapy?
Sclerotherapy is a medical procedure used to eliminate varicose and spider veins. This treatment involves injecting a solution directly into the affected veins, causing them to collapse and eventually fade from view. The procedure is quick, safe, and requires minimal downtime, making it an ideal option for many patients.
Types of Sclerotherapy Treatments Offered
At Virtue Vein & Lymphatic Center, Dr. Krikorian offers a variety of sclerotherapy treatments to meet the unique needs of each patient. These include:
Conventional Sclerotherapy: This traditional method involves injecting a liquid sclerosing solution into the veins. It is highly effective for treating smaller varicose and spider veins.
Foam Sclerotherapy: In this technique, the sclerosing solution is mixed with air to create a foam. The foam displaces blood within the vein, allowing the solution to work more effectively on larger veins.
Ultrasound-Guided Sclerotherapy: For deeper veins that are not visible on the surface, ultrasound technology is used to guide the injection of the sclerosing solution. This ensures precision and effectiveness in treating larger, more problematic veins.
