Sclerotherapy for Varicose Veins in Southeast, WI
Sclerotherapy is a minimally invasive treatment used to eliminate varicose veins. Sclerotherapy involves injecting a solution directly into the affected veins, causing the body to absorb and eliminate the treated target. Mequon Vein offers free screenings for patients who feel they are affected by varicose veins. Through our thorough treatment options, Mequon Vein prides itself in being Southeast Wisconsin’s premier vein treatment destination.
How Sclerotherapy Treats Varicose Veins
Sclerotherapy treats varicose veins by injecting a specialized solution directly into the affected veins. This solution irritates the inner lining of the vein, causing it to collapse and adhere together. After a short amount of time, the collapsed vein is absorbed by the body, leading to its gradual elimination from both the skin’s surface and below. The procedure is minimally invasive and effectively reduces both the visible appearance and symptoms of varicose veins, such as pain and discomfort. Multiple sessions may be needed to achieve optimal results.
10 Benefits of Sclerotherapy for Varicose Veins
1. Minimally Invasive
Sclerotherapy is a minimally invasive procedure typically performed in a doctor’s office without the need for general anesthesia or hospitalization. This means there is no need for surgical incisions or stitches.
2. Quick Procedure
The sclerotherapy procedure is relatively quick, often taking only 30 to 45 minutes to complete, depending on the number of veins being treated. Patients usually return to their normal activities on the same day.
3. Effective Results
Sclerotherapy is effective in treating smaller varicose veins. The injected solution causes the veins to collapse, and over time, the body naturally eliminates the treated veins.
4. Improved Appearance
One of the primary motivations for undergoing sclerotherapy is to improve both the symptoms caused by, as well as the appearance of, varicose veins. The procedure can lead to a reduction or elimination of visible veins and can enhance the appearance of the skin.
5. Reduced Symptoms
In addition to their appearance, varicose veins can cause symptoms such as pain, discomfort, itching, swelling and more. Sclerotherapy alleviates symptoms by reducing the pressure and pooling of blood in the affected veins.
6. Non-Surgical Alternative
Sclerotherapy provides a non-surgical alternative to more invasive procedures like vein stripping. Sclerotherapy is suitable for those who want to avoid surgery or for those who aren’t candidates for more aggressive treatments.
7. Customizable Treatment
8. Minimal Downtime
After the procedure, most patients resume their normal activities the same day. While some restrictions may be advised, such as avoiding strenuous exercise or heavy lifting for a few days, there is usually no downtime associated with the procedure.
9. Low Risk
10. Boost in Confidence
Many individuals with varicose veins may experience self-consciousness or a lack of confidence due to the appearance of their legs. Successful sclerotherapy treatment help to eliminates the bothersome appearance of varicose veins.
