Ultrasound Guided Sclerotherapy
For visible veins beneath the surface of the skin, visual sclerotherapy is a common treatment to restore clear, healthy skin and improve vascular function. But for dysfunctional veins deeper below the surface that can also contribute to venous disease, Miami vein doctor offer ultrasound-guided sclerotherapy at Fox Vein & Laser Experts.
What is
Ultrasound Guided Sclerotherapy?
While traditional sclerotherapy targets surface veins with quick, simple injections, deeper veins can be more difficult to treat as they are not as easily seen below the surface. With the assistance of state-of-the-art ultrasound technology, a needle is precisely and accurately inserted into the underlying vein, and the sclerosing agent is injected into the vein.
The ultrasound-guided sclerotherapy treatment works in the same fashion as traditional sclerotherapy, where the medicated solution causes the walls of treated veins to stick together, sealing them off and rerouting blood to healthier veins. The veins are then gradually removed by the body through natural processes.
When injected as a foam rather than a liquid, the solution can target some of the larger, underlying varicose veins that cannot typically be treated with sclerotherapy. The foam irritates the lining of the vessel walls, causing them to stick together and clot, rerouting the blood through healthy veins.
Over time, the treated vein is naturally removed by the body and replaced with healthy tissue.
