Veins increased and worse on thighs and back of calves after sclerotherapy. (Photos)

October 21, 2017
Asked By:ellamay17 in Berlin, DE

2 sessions of sclerotherapy (about a year apart) have made veins on my thigh & back of my calf much worse. They have spread downwards on my calf & I have been told that these will be impossible to remove by laser. I don’t want more sclerotherapy because the results have been so bad. I have a lot of broken veins which the person who performed the sclerotherapy told me were a mixture of spider & varicose. I’m 41.
