Foam Sclerotherapy is a versatile injection treatment used for smaller varicose veins and spider veins. By mixing a sclerosing agent with air to create a foam, we can treat a larger surface area of the vein wall with a smaller amount of medication, making it ideal for twisted veins.
This is a quick, walk-in procedure that usually takes less than 30 minutes.
The patient lies comfortably while the doctor identifies the target veins using specialized lighting or ultrasound.
The sclerosing foam is prepared and injected directly into the diseased veins using a very fine needle.
The foam displaces the blood, causing the vein wall to become irritated and eventually stick together.
Compression pads are applied to keep the vein walls compressed while they heal shut.
Sclerotherapy is vital for achieving both a successful clinical outcome and a perfect cosmetic result. It is the best method for removing unsightly spider veins that cause self-consciousness and minor discomfort.
