What Is Sclerotherapy?

Sclerotherapy is a type of varicose vein treatment in which 
a sclerosant (a medical solution) is injected into veins to damage and scar their inner lining. This causes them to close up and eventually fade away. Sclerotherapy also eliminates unsightly spider veins, which are visible under the skin's surface. The average length of this procedure ranges from 15 to 45 minutes. Sclerotherapy may involve multiple treatments to achieve the desired results.

Consultation & Preparation for Sclerotherapy Banner

Consultation & Preparation
for Sclerotherapy

Consultation & Preparation for Sclerotherapy Banner
During the initial consultation, Dr. Askari takes the patient's medical history, asks about medications being taken, and examines the veins. 
He identifies the underlying cause and extent of the venous insufficiency to recommend the right treatment plan. Patients are instructed not to apply lotion or oil to their legs the day before the procedure. Based on the doctor's recommendations, they should not take blood-thinning medications like aspirin for some time.

Sclerotherapy Procedure

Sclerotherapy Procedure Banner

Anesthesia

The treated area is cleaned and may be numbed with a topical anesthetic before the injections. Sclerotherapy is minimally invasive, so stronger anesthesia is not needed.

Injections

Dr. Askari injects the sclerosing agent into the affected veins using a fine needle. This saline solution creates scar tissue that closes off the veins. Depending on the extent of treatment, several injections may be performed during a single sclerotherapy session. Ultrasound guidance can be used to ensure proper placement.

Compression

After the injections are completed, compression is applied to the treatment area, often with medical-grade stockings or bandages. They help to close the treated veins, improving the effectiveness of the injections. Patients may be instructed to continue wearing compression garments for 1-4 weeks.

Recovery After Sclerotherapy

Recovery After Sclerotherapy Banner
After sclerotherapy treatment, people usually experience some mild to moderate pain, swelling, redness, and bruising at the injection sites. These symptoms peak within the first 1-2 days but gradually improve over the next 1-2 weeks. We recommend walking for 15-20 minutes after treatment to promote proper blood flow and drainage of the affected veins. Patients should avoid strenuous activities for 24 hours.

Over-the-counter pain medications, compression stockings, and bandages help to minimize discomfort during recovery. Most patients can return to normal activities within 1-2 days, although some lingering bruising may remain for up to 2 weeks. Healing lasts one month as the body naturally absorbs the treated veins.

Candidates for Sclerotherapy

Ideal patients for this treatment have one or more of the following characteristics:

Small Varicose
Veins

People with small varicose veins are often good candidates for sclerotherapy. These twisted... formations are often less than 3 mm in diameter. Sclerotherapy can treat varicose veins and improve their appearance. 

Spider
Veins

Spider veins, also called telangiectasias, are tiny blood vessels close to the skin's... surface. They may develop on the legs, face, or other areas. Schelortherapy is an ideal treatment because the sclerosing agent penetrates the thin walls of each spider vein. 

Mild Venous
Insufficiency

Patients with mild venous insufficiency are good candidates for our therapy. This condition... happens when the valves inside veins stop working properly, allowing blood to pool or flow backward. Sclerotherapy may redirect circulation and improve the patient's health.

Early Varicose
Veins

Varicose veins in the early stages (before significant skin damage 
or vascular impairment develops...) can be effectively treated with sclerotherapy. During this early phase, the vein walls are likely still elastic enough for the procedure.
