A safe, time-proven procedure. Complete correction is not expected on the first treatment. 3 to 4 treatments are generally required for optimal results. Patients may be asked initially to wear heavy-duty stockings to help keep treated veins closed and reduce bruising. On occasion, small clots can develop at the site of the injection.
Color changes can occur in the skin where sclerotherapy has been performed.
In some cases, laser treatments may be an alternative to sclerotherapy. If there is an underlying problem with the venous system, the veins will recur. To report any corrections please contact the webmaster .
