Like many other surgeries, sclerotherapy can be considered a cosmetic treatment. It is used to reduce or remove the signs of swollen or strained blood vessels around the body. For decades, surgeons have been using a variety of ways to treat varicose veins in patients, some more successful than others. But today, with the advances in technology, treatments are mostly free of discomfort and can offer near 100% success in the results. Men and women of all ages and levels of health have benefitted from the treatment options, so when you are ready to make that step into a more beautiful you, be sure to ask about the treatments at Vein Specialty Medical Clinic.
Treatments for Varicose Veins
Sclerotherapy, Micro-sclerotherapy and Endovenous laser ablation are three of the main treatments used to reduce or completely remove the signs of spider veins and swollen blood vessels on the face, arms, hands, legs, feet and other parts of the body. The treatments are usually quick and can be performed in an afternoon, lasting a half hour or so, and multiple areas can be treated at once depending on your health. A pre-surgical consultation will be performed by the doctor on the individual wanting the treatment to be sure they are in good health and can benefit from the treatment in a positive way. There are some limits, however, as pregnant women and those with blood clots or a recent history of blood clots cannot be treated. Whether you are receiving endovenous treatment or sclerotherapy, the pain and discomfort during the treatment will be kept to a minimum. Should you experience any discomfort, it will be similar to a muscle cramp.
Recovery from Vein Surgery
The actual procedure is mostly pain free and brings very little discomfort along with it. Depending on the treatment method chosen, and the area that was treated, recovery time can be as little as 12 hours before you can resume normal activities including aerobics and some sports. Results of the treatment can be seen in as little as a few days, with the best results from a single treatment being seen within two months. Should additional treatments be needed on the same area, or you have been so happy with the first that you want to return for more, these can be arranged within a couple months of the initial first treatment. Speaking directly with your doctor can give you an idea as to when the best time to return for additional treatment would be.
