Foam Sclerotherapy
Foam Sclerotherapy (Ultrasound guided)
Foam sclerotherapy can be used to treat moderate or larger varicose veins, or veins which have recurred after prior vein surgery.
The sclerosant solution is mixed with air to create a bubbly foam. This has the advantage of increasing the treatable area of veins without having to increase the amount of sclerosant injected.
Injections may be precisely monitored in real time by ultrasound.
Foam sclerotherapy has advantages and disadvantages which can be discussed at your consultation.
