Can I get Sclerotherapy for veins (possible EDS)?

Question

I have possible EDS type 3, and I have visible veins on my chest & legs, they're flat but you can see the green venous pattern quite clearly, especially in the warmer weather. I have had an ultrasound & there are no abnormalities. My question is, if I do indeed have EDS, could I have sclerotherapy treatment for cosmetic purposes? Thank you.

Jason Emer, MD · Answer

For varicose veins, we typically recommend a safe, minimally invasive procedure called Sclerotherapy. A salt solution is injected directly into each vein, causing them to collapse and ultimately disappear. For long-term improvement, we often complement Sclerotherapy with IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) photofacial and the Excel V laser, which treats both superficial and deep vascular conditions on all skin types. I suggest seeing an expert for a formal evaluation to determine if this is the best solution for you. Best, Dr. Emer

There should be no contraindication to foam sclerotherapy with EDS.  I would recommend .12-.15%., doing a trial area first and do not  use saline.
