Procedure can be done under ultrasound guided and direct injection such as injection of spider vein injection
Ultrasound guided sclerotherapy is a minimally invasive procedure used to treat varicose veins. This procedure involves the injection of a sclerosing solution. The procedure is guided by ultrasound imaging, which allows the physician to accurately target he affected veins. During the procedure, a small needle is inserted through the skin and into the vein. The ultrasound imaging is used to ensure the needle is correctly positioned. Once the needle is in place, the sclerosing solution is injected into the vein.
The procedure typically takes 20-30 minutes to an hour and is performed at Long Beach Vascular Care in an outpatient setting. After the procedure patients may experience some soreness, bruising, and swelling. Compression stockings may be recommended to help reduce sclerotherapy. It is a safe and effective procedure for treating varicose veins. It can help reduce the visibility of the veins, improve circulation, and reduce pain and discomfort.
