Is sclerotherapy a safe vein treatment?
Answered by Anonymous
Question:
I have some very visible veins that I would like to have treated. I’ve heard this is often done with sclerotherapy and that this involves some type of solution that is injected into the veins. Is this safe?
Answer:
Sclerotherapy, or vein injections, is the treatment of choice for small blue spider veins on the legs. This is often combined with Nd:YAG laser therapy which works best for very small red leg veins – those that are too small for the needle injections of sclerotherapy.
