Sclerotherapy Doctor

If you are troubled by spider or varicose veins, you may consider sclerotherapy as a treatment option. It is a slightly invasive procedure that involves injecting a sclerosing solution into the diseased veins or vessels, causing them to collapse and fade away over time. At Healthy Living Heart and Vein, we perform sclerotherapy to correct various types of vascular malformations. If you are looking for a sclerotherapy doctor, you can trust our cardiac specialists having extensive training in performing this procedure with minimal risks.

What Conditions Can We Treat Using Sclerotherapy

At our practice, we utilize advanced treatment options to cure heart and circulatory diseases. With sclerotherapy we can correct a wide range of vascular or lymphatic issues such as:

• Varicose veins: These are enlarged, twisted, and bulging veins that usually occur in the legs. They can cause pain, swelling, itching, cramping, and heaviness in the legs. They can also increase the risk of skin changes, bleeding, and venous ulcers. 
• Spider veins: These are small, thin, red or blue veins that appear on the skin. They are usually harmless but can be unsightly and affect your self-confidence. They may also cause burning or itching sensations.
• Malformed lymph vessels: These are abnormal vessels in the lymphatic system that can cause swelling, fluid accumulation, infections, and cosmetic problems. They can affect any part of the body but are more common in the head and neck regions.

What Is The Process of Sclerotherapy

To perform this procedure, our sclerotherapy doctor will first examine your veins or vessels and determine the best type of sclerosing agent to use. We will then inject the solution into the targeted area using a fine needle. You may feel mild stinging or cramping during the injection, but this will subside quickly. The procedure may take 20 to 30 minutes, depending on the number and size of veins or vessels treated.

After sclerotherapy, you will be able resume your normal activities immediately. You may experience some bruising, swelling, itching, or redness at the injection site, but these will fade within a few days. We recommend you to wear compression stockings or bandages for a few days or weeks to help your veins heal and prevent blood clots. You will also need to avoid sun exposure, hot baths, saunas, and strenuous exercise for a few days or weeks.
