I had Sclerotherapy done 3 years ago in FL and the results were wonderful, very noticeable within weeks, continued to get better throughout the 4 procedures I had. Six weeks ago, I had it done again in Nashville. After 6 weeks, I can't tell any change, actually I only notice the new veins. I don't know which solution was used in FL, but she called it a soapy solution. The clinic here used saline. In your opinion which works best and is better for you to use?

Answer: Best technique for sclerotherapy of spider veins Important considerations in sclerotherapy include the proper use of sclerosant solutions, but more importantly, the technique used for injection. Larger veins should be addressed prior to smaller end branches. As a fellow of the American College of Phlebology and a double board certified surgeon who is a Diplomate of the American Board of Phlebology and the American Board of Plastic Surgery, it is important for me to evaluate these venous patterns in a logical and comprehensive fashion prior to having treatment. Do not focus on the sclerosant as much as the surgical planning and knowledge of the treating physician.

Answer: Sclerotherapy Thank you for the question! Currently sclerotherapy is the treatment of choice when treating enlarged and bulging veins. In our practice, I use a sclerosing solution that causes the vein to shrink. Usually it takes only 1 to 2 sessions to achieve fading of the undesirable veins.
