“Sclerotherapy procedure made my leg veins worse”

Sclerotherapy: NOT worth it

Cost: $300
Pain: Uncomfortable
Sclerotherapy satisfaction: Poor1 Star Rating: Poor
Seeking help:

Why close all those veins when they don't bother me? Is this the way it is commonly done? It seems like others I have heard about just have the veins injected and see immediate improvements.
Answer this
Review of Sclerotherapy:

I had one treatment - doctor said to start injections at hip (this was done) and move down leg in 6 or so more treatments. I see no improvement. In fact, injecting the hip veins seems to have made the veins in my legs much worse!

i had four treatments for severe spider veins, and it looked great. but, then after a while they came back, full force. went for more treatments, now my legs and part of my abdomen are COVERED in spider veins. i can not show my legs, and feel i can not date anymore. that's how severe it is. it makes me cry.
