How Long is It for the Discoloation to Be Gone After I Done the Vein Treatment?
In our 25 year experience in over 20,000 patients, 90% of pigmentation after sclerotherapy, if it ever occurs will resolve within 6 months and the other 10% within 1 year. If it is stubborn, we recommend the q-switched ruby laser which vaporizes out the brown iron staining.
I have seen a vascular surgeon who told me it cannot be treated with scelotherapy because of the risk of necrosis.He did not offer alternatives but from some research I see ligation might be possible. Any recommendations for doctors in the SF bay area would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
