Ultrasound Guided Sclerotherapy
Our Approach to Ultrasound Guided Sclerotherapy
Ultrasound-guided sclerotherapy is a minimally invasive and highly effective procedure for treating varicose veins. Using ultrasound imaging, our specialists precisely locate and target problematic veins before injecting a sclerosing agent, causing the vein to collapse and eventually fade. This outpatient procedure not only improves the appearance of varicose veins but also addresses associated symptoms, providing a reliable and convenient solution for enhancing vascular health.
What Is Ultrasound Guided Sclerotherapy?
How does it work?
Sclerosant medication works on varicose veins by inducing controlled damage to the vein walls, causing them to collapse and eventually fade as the body absorbs the treated vessel, promoting improved blood flow and aesthetics.
What are the benefits of sclerotherapy?
Sclerotherapy offers a non-surgical and minimally invasive solution for varicose veins, effectively diminishing their appearance and alleviating associated symptoms. With minimal downtime and notable aesthetic improvements, sclerotherapy provides a convenient and efficient option for enhancing vascular health and overall well-being.
What should I expect afterwards?
After sclerotherapy, patients can expect mild discomfort, bruising, or swelling at the injection site, which usually resolves within a few days. Over the following weeks, treated veins and skin changes will gradually fade, providing a smoother appearance and often alleviating associated symptoms for enhanced vascular well-being.
What are the potential risks?
While sclerotherapy is generally safe, potential risks include temporary side effects like bruising, swelling, and skin discoloration. In rare cases, patients may experience allergic reactions or blood clot formation, underscoring the importance of thorough consultation and monitoring by healthcare professionals during and after the procedure.
