Sclerotherapy

Sclerotherapy for very fine SPIDER veins do not get blood clots. In injecting RETICULAR veins, which are small blue veins under the skin may develope a blood clot. This clot is in the superficial system of veins and is not dangerous. It may leave the hemosiderin stain behind. Injecting the major SAPHENOUS system of veins will and can result in deep venous thrombosis
