Features of this technique

  • It is used to treat deep varicose veins (hidden varicose veins), leading to the expansion of more superficial small veins, reticular veins and spider veins.
  • It helps the doctor to detect varicose veins invisible to the naked eye, catheterize them (i.e. insert a catheter into them) and treat them.
  • Side effects are minimal and rare.
  • The desired results can be seen within 1.5-2 months.
  • Replaces surgical treatment of such disorders as dilated great saphenous and small saphenous veins.
  • It provides invaluable assistance in detection and treatment of varicose veins that feed varicose ulcers shins, which leads to their healing.
  • Precise injection of the sclerosing agent into the vein saves the patient from possible complications associated with its erroneous injection under the skin. Such erroneous injection can lead to the formation of slowly healing ulcers.
  • Side effects and complications are very rare and minor, and go away without special treatment.
