SCLEROTHERAPY

Sclerotherapy is a minor, noninvasive procedure to fix troublesome veins. The procedure is non-surgical, requiring only an injection.

Sclerotherapy procedure effectively treats varicose and spider veins. It involves injecting a solution (generally a salt solution) directly into the vein. The sclerotherapy solution works by irritating the lining of the vein, causing it to close and block the flow of blood. The injected vein will become scar tissue and disappear. The collapsed vein is absorbed into local tissue and eventually fades. It can take a month or more to see the full results.

The procedure also can improve related symptoms such as:

• Aching
• Swelling
• Burning
• Night cramps

(If you’re pregnant or breast-feeding, doctors recommend waiting to have sclerotherapy done)
