It’s important to distinguish between varicose veins and spider veins when choosing between laser therapy, sclerotherapy, and vein surgery. With two board certified vein specialists, our center uses a combination of visual examination, functional flow measurements, ultrasound, transillumination, and infrared light to map out vein networks prior to therapy. Lasers can be used to treat deep varicose vein insufficiency, vein perforators, and varicose veins. Sclerotherapy is ideal for spider veins and reticular veins. Whereas surgery is reserved for severely incompetent varicose vein segments.

Recurrence may happen after sclerotherapy as veins can re- canilize over time depending on the agent used. Yous should follow up with your surgeon for evaluation.

I think that it was a bad decision from the beginning. I would not have done a phlebectomy and much less sclerotherapy in the vein in the forehead. I would left that alone and ask you to learn to live with it....
