Sclerotherapy, Varicose and Spider Vein Laser Treatment
No more hiding those legs! For over five years, Dr Baskin has taken a special interest in the treatment of spider and varicose veins. Both she and her well trained staff offer a combination of microinjections known as sclerotherapy along with laser treatments to achieve optimal results. During your consultation, a treatment plan will be discussed with you. Typically 3-5 treatments are necessary scheduled in 4-6 week intervals.
Sclerotherapy involves an injection of a solution (such as sodium chloride, a salt solution, or sotradecol, a detergent) directly into the vein. The solution irritates the lining of the blood vessel, causing it to swell and stick together, and the blood to clot. Over time, the vessel turns into scar tissue that fades from view. In most cases, the sclerosing solution is injected through a very fine needle directly into the vein. The procedure itself takes approximately 15 to 30 minutes.
