Sclerotherapy is a globally verified treatment where the physician uses an extremely fine needle to instill a special solution directly into the unwanted abnormal vein. This injected solution helps vein wall to fall, which disappears gradually when the body absorbs it.
There are several solutions used in sclerotherapy and they either include very strong salt water called Hypertonic Saline or one of a range of sclerosing agent eg. ‘Sclerovein’ ‘Sclerino’ and ‘Trombovar’ or STD. Extremely fine needle is used to inject this into the affected veins.
The key of sclerotherapy is always to treat the entire patient; that’s, one does treat the bigger veins starting from the lower-leg and working down. The process of sclerotherapy could be the same intended for spider vein or varicose vein; really the only difference could be the period of compression.
After your initial assessment, which will include a history, examination and testing of the veins with a Doppler machine, a plan of the treatment can be offered to you. The treatment usually varies between 2 to 6 sessions lasting 20 minutes. In this time one or both legs are usually treated with a sclerosing solution.
Soon after your initial assessment, that can include a brief history, examination and testing in the veins having a Doppler device, a plan in the treatment is usually offered to patient. The therapy usually ranges between 2 to 6 consultations lasting 20 min’s. In these times one or perhaps both legs are usually treated having a sclerosing solution.
Most treatments are followed by the application of compression stockings, which must be worn for one week. The stockings can be
usually removed intended for sleeping and showering immediately after 48 hours.
All patients are recommended to walk frequently, which coupled with the wearing of compression stockings, assists with the achievement of the procedure.
