Sclerotherapy

This treatment for leg veins involves the insertion of a tiny needle into
the blood vessel where a small amount of sclerosing or scarring agent is
gently injected. This causes the vessels to shrink and dissolve as the body
naturally absorbs them. Patients will be fitted for compression stockings
that must be worn for three days and two nights post-procedure, and then for
two weeks during the day to help achieve optimal results and reduce the risk
for complications. Multiple treatments may be needed and results are
typically seen within 4-6 weeks.
