WHAT IS THE HISTORY OF VARICOSE AND SPIDER VEIN SCLEROSING?
Sclerosing of veins by injections dates back to 1851 when the hypodermic syringe was invented. Since the late 1960’s, sclerosing has gained favor. The procedure has been simplified and is effective in any size vein. It is inexpensive and safe, has very few contraindications and there is no lost time from work or activity.
WHAT CAUSES VARICOSE-SPIDER VEINS?
Back pressure of blood causes weak-walled veins to stretch making the valves ineffective. Occupations that require sitting and standing and pregnancy is a big factor as well as heredity in causing veins to dilate.
WHAT IS VARICOSE-SPIDER VEIN SCLEROSING?
When sclerosing solution is injected into the vein, it chemically irritates the inner walls of the vein to the extent that it collapses. Within a few days the veins become smaller and disappear.
WHAT SHOULD THE PATIENT EXPECT WITH VEIN SCLEROSING?
They should expect to spend up to one hour in the treatment room. Injections will be continued until all selected veins are collapsed for that visit. There is virtually no down time and the patient can resume routine activity immediately and return to work the next day.
HOW MANY INJECTIONS ARE REQUIRED?
The average amount of visits require for veins in both extremeties is about four visits. Sclerosing of veins is successful at any age and visits can be spaced at the patients convenience and can be weekly, monthly or further apart.
