Sclerotherapy


 

Before the development of modern day sclerotherapy, patients with spider veins and/or varicose veins had to live with the embarrassment and discomfort caused by these venous conditions.

Today, the vein specialists at the Goldman Vein Institute offer a highly effective, minimally invasive alternative: progressive refined sclerotherapy for spider veins and VARITHENA™ for varicose veins. This methodology, adopted from Europe, addresses feeder veins, which are the root source of spider veins. In a progressive pattern, the feeder veins are treated, starting from the top, moving down in a band like pattern.

Sclerotherapy is the Gold Standard for the treatment of spider and varicose veins, and the vein experts at the Goldman Vein Institute are the industry leaders, providing relief for thousands of patients experiencing aching, pain, heaviness, itching, burning, leg restlessness, leg cramps, throbbing and swelling.

Sclerotherapy is an in-office procedure that provides men and women with relief from spider veins on the legs, chest, hands, or face. This vein treatment not only minimizes the unsightly appearance of spider veins, but also can provide relief from tired, aching, cramping, and restless legs.

Studies have shown this safe, effective treatment can eliminate as many as 50 – 80 percent of treated veins after just a few sessions.

How Does Sclerotherapy Work?

The expert vein doctors at the Goldman Vein Institute use FDA approved liquid sclerosants, guided visually, or using VARITHENA™ , foamed and guided through ultrasound, to eliminate small spider veins, reticular veins (feeder veins), and larger bulging varicose veins–all without surgery.

During this procedure, a tiny needle is used to introduce an FDA-approved sclerosant into the vein, drops at a time. This gentle, yet effective and FDA approved medication causes the vein to collapse and close. Over time, the closed vein gets absorbed by the body and disappears. The vein specialists initiate the process and the body does the rest, naturally.

Sclerotherapy sessions are typically completed within 20 minutes per leg in our Florida offices, and most patients can resume their daily activities immediately after treatment.
