What is the best treatment for varicose veins with sclerotherapy for systemic lupus erythematosus patients?

sah101
Hi I am 33 years old patient with systemic lupus erythematosus since 2004 now I'm under control with mycophenolic acid. My main concern is that I have a lot of spider veins on my legs and thighs I want to ask if the treatment with sclerotherapy is recommended for me and it will not cause any side effects like blood clotting after treatment. Many thanks in advance
