Laser therapy has evolved to address small and medium sized abnormal veins. In fact, endovenous laser therapy is useful for the management of varicose-vein associated venous insufficiency. Sclerotherapy using foam sclerosants are ideal for the treatment of minimally-refluxing varicosities and reticular veins. In our office, we combine these less-invasive modalities with microphlebectomy and vein surgery in order to minimize scarring and remove unsightly varicosities.

Sclerotherapy consists in injecting a foamy solution into the vein. The solution irritates the inner walls of vein and progressively it disappears. Because of the proximity of important deeper veins, only see someone experimented in this treatment. It takes a few session most of the time.

A large part of my practice is the treatment of facial veins.  I treat these central forehead veins with sclerotherapy with excellent results.  The only drawback to treatment is that several sessions may be necessary.
