Sclerotherapy is a non-surgical office procedure that can be used to treat most varicose veins. At Laser Away, sclerotherapy is most often used to treat unwanted varicose veins, spider veins, and telangiectasia in the legs. Sclerotherapy is done by injecting a solution into the vein using a very fine needle. The medicated solution makes the vein walls sticky and causes the vein to collpase and close down.  The blood flow is redirected to deeper veins. The damaged vein is then reabsorbed by the body, thus getting rid of the undesirable vein.

Sclerotherapy can be a very effective way to eliminate or reduce the unwanted veins. Ridding the body of these damaged veins leads to better circulation in the legs and can also get rid of symptoms that you might experience.

At Laser Away, your first visit with us is a consultation with our physician. During the consultation, we will review your past medical history, review your current medications, discuss any symptoms, review your goals, and examine your legs. You will find the consultations quite informative and you will have time to ask any questions that you might have about suggested treatments or about varicose veins and their management. Sometimes, we can do sclerotherapy injections on the first visit. Please bring a pair of shorts or perhaps a skirt so that we can properly assess your leg veins.
