Sclerotherapy, Relief from Painful Veins

It truly is amazing to see what modern technology has done for the medical field. People suffering from all kinds of discomforts can find relief, through new treatments that are constantly being developed. Sclerotherapy, or the treatment of vascular of lymphatic blood vessel malformations, is one of these treatments that has been very helpful to a large number of people all over the world who are struggling from blood vessel malformations. Sclerotherapy is not forcedly anti aging treatment or cosmetic surgery; it is used mostly for medical reasons.

Most people find these blood vessel malformations to be more than just painful—although that in itself is a difficult thing. They are also embarrassing and unwelcome, and the removal or treatment of them is very important to these individuals.

Sclerotherapy Procedure

The procedure involved with sclerotherapy includes that injection of a specially created medicine directly into the treatment site. Thus, the vein that is causing problems will shrink and eventually dissolve. This incredible therapy causes those certain veins that are feeding the superfluous and bothersome blood vessels to exist to seal themselves off, thus cutting off the supply to the other blood vessel malformations. This means that those formations are much less likely to occur in the future. Often, after the procedure is performed on the multiple treatment sites, the patient will be encouraged to wear compression stockings to help the healing process occur appropriately and quickly.

Sclerotherapy Contraindications

Pregnant or lactating women are not recommended for sclerotherapy. Elderly people in poor physical condition, who may also be experiencing complications with age that result in abnormal skin qualities are also not qualified for a successful procedure. Other contraindications include things such as : obesity, people who have arterial insufficiency in the legs, or other symptoms that your doctor may identify in the pre-procedural consultation.

Sclerotherapy Price

Each session of sclerotherapy may differ in price, as the size and extent of the treatment area may differ as veins are removed. Different doctors will also offer a different price, and this must be kept in mind as a good doctor is searched for by the patient. On average, one session of sclerotherapy will range from about $100 to near $400. Those doctors offering laser treatment will also charge a bit more per session

Sclerotherapy Complications

After the procedure is completed, it is common for the patient to experience discomfort in the legs, including pain and swelling. There is also a possibility of necrosis of the tissue, and scarring. While sclerotherapy is fully FDA approved, there are other complications such as allergic reactions, hyperpigmentation of the skin, and thromboembolism. However, these reactions are very rare, and most patients undergoing this therapy will end up being very satisfied with the results. If you experience serious adverse effects or painful symptoms, your Physician will prescribe you an appropriate treatment to fight against these health issues.
