Sclerotherapy in Merrimack, NH
Many people suffer from varicose veins and spider veins, and there are various treatment options available to reduce their appearance. Sclerotherapy is one treatment option available. It is a procedure where a chemical solution is injected into enlarged veins and collapses them, eliminating their unsightly appearance and the discomfort sometimes associated with them. Sclerotherapy is an outpatient procedure, and highly effective, with minimal side effects.
The purpose of sclerotherapy is to reduce the appearance and side effects of enlarged veins. The procedure works by delivering a chemical into each vein that damages the interior wall and causes the vein to collapse. After the blood vessel collapses, it is absorbed by the body, and blood flow is diverted to other healthy veins deeper in the leg.
During the sclerotherapy procedure, a vascular specialist prepares the area with varicose veins by sterilizing it, and then injects the sclerosing agent into the vein with a small needle. The chemical takes affect right away, and collapses the vein within a few seconds. The procedure is usually performed with a local anesthetic, and pain is minimal.
The results of sclerotherapy are noticeably reduced varicose veins, with minimal side effects. The recovery time is short, with most patients able to resume daily activities the day after treatment.
The cost of sclerotherapy varies depending on the severity of the varicose veins, and if treatment is needed on one or both legs. For an exact quote, and to find out if sclerotherapy is right for you, contact a vascular specialist today.
