Sclerotherapy is one of the premier treatments for visible veins these days. It has proven to be a great alternative to older invasive treatments that often left patients with irritating side effects, long recovery periods, and scars. With this minimally-invasive treatment, you can experience all the benefits of getting rid of visible veins yet not having to deal with the irritations inherent in older treatments. Here are three times when you may want to consider sclerotherapy for your own needs.
When You Have Larger Spider Veins
Spider veins are visible veins that range in size from very small to medium-sized. They form in circular patterns that look much like tiny spider webs. They are often blue, purple, or red and are prone to enlarge over time.
Although the tiniest spider veins may require a non-invasive treatment, slightly larger spider veins can be more successfully treated with sclerotherapy. This treatment targets the main problematic vein with an injection of a special solution that irritates the venous walls, causing them to swell and close. Rather than having to heat away all of the visible veins, our practitioner will focus on the main “feeder” vein that sends blood into all the other visible veins.
When You Have Smaller Varicose Veins
Although some varicose veins are quite large and need to be surgically removed, sclerotherapy is an excellent choice for those middle-of-the-road veins that are moderately sized. Without treatment, varicose veins can also enlarge, but they can cause more than cosmetic problems. They create discomfort, muscle cramping, itching and skin ulcers over time. With this treatment, you can treat the saphenous vein that is usually the “feeder” vein for most issues in the legs. Foam sclerotherapy may work better for larger varicose veins that are difficult to treat with liquid solutions.
When You Want the Gold Standard of Visible Vein Treatments
It is no surprise that sclerotherapy is known as the gold standard of treatments for these venous issues. It is well-loved around the world and is known as a very safe treatment. Most patients see complete results within months.
Sclerotherapy is a safe, effective treatment that has been used for years with great success.

Thought about you in Hawaii

I can walk to my mail box again
by John Neumann, patient
Category: reviews“I had problems walking to my mail box when I went to Pacific Vein Care. Dr. Conti found I had vein reflux and artery problems in both of my legs. He did his normal vein procedure on one leg and a special procedure at the hospital on the other leg and corrected the artery problems at the same time. I am very happy with the results from the procedures done at Pacific Vein Care to correct both my veins and artery problems. I can walk to my mail box again and not have to stop and rest part way there.”
I am pleased to say my quality of life is back
by Barbara Hoffman, patient
Category: reviews“For thirty Years I have put up with leg pain, throbbing and swelling due to varicose veins. At 63 years old, I made a choice to have Radiofrequency Ablation therapy and I am pleased to say my quality of life is back. I can now take long walks, exercise and stand for long period of time without discomfort. I recently purchased a pair of tall stylish boots and I can actually zip them up because I no longer suffer from edema.”
The procedures were not hard to go through and the result was a tremendous relief.
by Wayne, patient
Category: reviews“I recently – April/May of 2012 – had VNUS procedures done on my right and left legs. Dr. Conti and his staff were superb in the diagnosis and treatment of my condition. The process was fully explained to me and were virtually pain free. There was some discomfort in the week or two after the procedures which were easily handled by over the counter pain medications. I was impressed with Dr. Conti’s knowledge and professionalism and would recommend anyone waiting to treat their varicose veins NOT to wait. The procedures were not hard to go through and the result was a tremendous relief.”
