Sclerotherapy vs Laser Vein Therapy - Which is Best?

Without examining you in person, it is difficult to say which treatment is best as they both work exceptionally well in different situations. I would suggest that you visit a board certified dermatologist who has special training in vein treatments. I would advise that you visit an expert to ensure a safe and effective treatment. In many cases, a combination of sclerotherapy and laser treatments may be used for the best possible results.

Treatment of spider, reticular, and varicose veins begins with a complete mapping of the vein network and evaluation of venous reflux. This should be done by a surgeon who is board certified in phlebology. I perform a combination of reticular, spider sclerotherapy and selective photothermolysis with laser.

Often times this is not an either/or decision. These two modalities can be complementary. Furthermore, the use of surgery is still occasionally required. In any event, maintenance therapy will be required and it is important to understand and be prepared for this.
