6 Benefits of Sclerotherapy
Sclerotherapy is a commonly recommended treatment for varicose veins and spider veins. A brief injection (or quick series of injections) scars the inside of the varicose vein, causing it to close and normal blood flow to be rerouted to surrounding vessels. Here are 6 benefits of getting sclerotherapy.
- It’s a generally safe procedure, with few risks. If you experience any lingering side effects, they usually disappear in a week or 2.
- Sclerotherapy is a minimally invasive treatment. This procedure typically requires no hospitalization and could be down in office.
- A patient’s preparation is easy and not complicated.
- Patients usually report little discomfort or pain while in the procedure (typically about an hour)
- Returning to regular daily activities the same or next day is expected. More strenuous activities a resumed within a week.
- Sclerotherapy has a high success rate
