Sclerotherapy is the method of vein removal that involves an injection of a solution (such as Asclera) to dissolve veins and redirect blood flow. This is most commonly used on the lower body, such as the legs, ankles, and feet. Sclerotherapy is used for the more "purple" veins that typically sit directly underneath the skin. Sclerotherapy treatments can take anywhere between 30 minutes to an hour each, depending on how much area is to be covered. Some patients may need multiple sessions of sclerotherapy, whereas others may find relief after one session. Aftercare involves the wearing of compression stockings for several weeks following treatment. We also encourage 15-20 minutes of mild to moderate walking each day following treatment to encourage redirected blood flow and avoid clotting. An 8-week follow up assessment will be performed where we can determine if another session is necessary or if all has healed to ultimate satisfaction!
