Sclerotherapy Treatment
Golden Cosmetic Center is pleased to provide its patients with sclerotherapy treatment, with the aim of eliminating so-called varicose veins and spider veins.
This minimally invasive treatment targets unwanted veins to restore smoother, clearer-looking skin and renewed confidence in the appearance of your legs.
How the Procedure Works
The treatment involves injecting saline directly into the vein. The solution irritates the lining of the blood vessel, causing it to collapse and stick and the blood to clot.
Over time, the affected vessel transforms into scar tissue that becomes invisible.
Patient Eligibility
Specialists at the center will carefully evaluate each patient to determine candidacy. Several groups are excluded from the procedure:
- Pregnant women
- Those currently using birth control pills
- People with a history of blood clots (requires medical evaluation)
- Veins potentially needed for future heart bypass surgery (unless already deemed unusable)
The evaluation considers the general health of the area needing treatment, as well as the reason for the clot.
