Sclerotherapy

Sclerotherapy is the most common treatment for improving the appearance of varicose and spider veins on the legs. It is also performed to treat symptoms caused by these conditions, such as aching, swelling and burning.

Varicose veins are swollen, twisted veins that you can see just under the skin. Although it is all over the body, it can be seen more often in the legs. There are valves inside the veins in our body that allow the blood flow to move towards the heart. When these valves become dysfunctional for any reason, the direction of blood flow changes and leakage occurs in the opposite direction and causes venous pooling. This causes swelling in the veins and varicose veins occur.

The doctor diagnoses with a physical examination and Doppler ultrasound. What is important here is the degree of leakage in the vein and the change in venous diameter. In surgical treatment, patients are discharged after approximately 1-2 hours with one of the closed operation methods (Radiofrequency Ablation, Laser Ablation, Bioglue Closure). After this procedure, the patient can return to his daily routine immediately.
