[ Ссылка ] ~ Dr. James Schlotter has extensive experience performing sclerotherapy.
Sclerotherapy (chemical injections) is the use of sclerosing agents in the treatment of varicose veins. These agents can be thought of as biological glue. The procedure consists of injecting varicose veins with Sotradecol, which causes an irritation in the inner wall of the vein. The object is to glue the walls of the veins together so that they can no longer carry blood. When this happens, the symptoms disappear and the veins are no longer visible.
Sclerotherapy is done in the Finesse Surgery Center office and takes approximately 30 minutes -- 1 hour. It can be performed as an independent treatment process or can also follow a surgical procedure if indicated. Two treatment dates may be indicated if your veins are extensive. Multiple injections are done into the feeder veins. The leg is then covered by a support stocking along with specially designed foam pads (if indicated) to provide additional compression. The stocking is worn continuously for three weeks and a weekly follow-up visit is required during this three-week period.
