Do the veins on my feet look like sclerotherapy? Would that even be an option for what I have? (Photo)

Question

I saw a vein specialist who wouldn’t inject them because we he said I didn’t need it. They did a vein ultra sound and my veins were healthy. Would getting sclerotherapy be an option?

Hi lunaezra,The visible veins in the photograph on your feet appear to be normal. Just like veins on the backs of your hands are normal. I have this conversation all the time with my patients. I treat hand veins using sclerotherapy techniques for cosmetic reasons&hellip;.but I always have that conversation and again hit home that these are normal veins. I typically would not recommend treatment unless you were having symptoms&hellip; Pain, swelling, etc. Having said that you could have them treated with sclerotherapy for cosmetic purposes. I hope this helps. Good luck!

These are healthy, normal veins. Sclerotherapy is only needed if the veins are diseased, damaged, and causing symptoms.
