Soooooo Worth It! - Gurnee, IL

I've had spider veins for the past 15 year or more. I can't remember exactly how old I was when they really first started showing up, but I think I was in my mid 20's. In the past I haven't had the best results & did not seek treatment for a while.

Two years ago I started going to a vascular surgeon who offers the Sclerotherapy procedure. I first had a microphlebectomy to treat the underlying cause. Shorlty after I started the sclerotherapy. The first 3 session's had an improvement, but I developed a few small ulcer's, this due to a reaction from the saline solution.

Went back in October & had sclero using the newly FDA approved Asclera solution it's been almost 3 1/2 weeks & the result's so far have been fanstastic & are looking better every day. As for the small ulcerations, they are healing nicely. In March my doctor is using laser to remove any left over scarring from the ulcerations. I travel an hour to get to my Doctor, but he is WELL worth it. He is also doing the follow up laser treatment at no cost.

Great review?

I'm doing sclerotherapy later this month. Did you have to wear compression hose afterwards? If so, what type and for how long? Thank you.
