What strength of Sclerotherapy should be used for my feet and ankle veins and does it matter if it's foam or liquid? (photos)

Asked By:amanda350 in Murfreesboro, TN

I have had both liquid Sotradecol and foam asclera for my hands with pretty good results from the foam not the liquid. There is a local plastic surgeon who uses liquid Sclerotherapy only and will treat all feet veins and a vein dr I have been seeing who is an hour away that does foam but he does one vein at a time and I can't keep taking off of work so much. Does liquid work just as well? Is there anyone out there who will treat my feet veins in one session that I can drive to?
