Overview
Varicose veins are a disease of the blood circulation system, in which the veins are no longer able to ensure the efficient return of blood to the heart. This results in the appearance of dilated and tortuous veins, bluish or purple in color. In addition to the aesthetic impact, these varicose veins can be responsible for several symptoms, such as pain, discomfort, the feeling of heavy legs, swelling and itching.

Sclerotherapy
Overview
Sclerotherapy is a minimally invasive procedure that involves injecting a solution in varicose veins, in order to cause the diseased vein to close.

Procedure
Objective
Sclerotherapy helps relieve symptoms linked to venous disease, prevent the progression and reduce the risk of complications linked to varicose veins, as well as improve the aesthetics of the legs and quality of life.
Technique
The first step is to assess the extent of the disease by an ultrasound examination carried out by a doctor specialized in phlebology. According to the evaluation, the doctor will be able to guide you towards the treatment best suited to you. If necessary, injection treatment of deeper varicose veins can be carried out using ultrasound guidance. The treatment of these deeper veins is important, since these veins nourish the more superficial varicose veins, which can subsequently be treated by visual injection. No convalescence or recovery time is required after treatments.
Results
Although the number of sessions may vary depending on the individual, significant clinical improvement can be expected on average after three or four sclerotherapy sessions. Medical monitoring and annual treatment of new varicose veins will provide you with better control of the disease and better relief of symptoms in the long term.
