Sclerotherapy

Involves the injection of an FDA-approved chemical (sclerosant) into unwanted veins either under direct vision or ultrasound guidance. The targeted veins can be medically necessary or cosmetic as the end effect is to close or eliminate a vein through a process called sclerosis. In most cases, the foaming of the detergent sclerosant (Sotradecol® or Asclera®) takes place and the process is called “foam sclerotherapy”. At Vein Care Medical Center no hypertonic saline (“salt water”) is injected.
