What is Sclerotherapy?
Larger, deeper varicose veins are treated through sclerotherapy. Sclerotherapy is a series of small injections to the vein that causes the vein to collapse and fade from view. It has been a safe and effective procedure for more than 30 years. A combination of laser treatments and sclerotherapy are used to treat these veins.
What causes these abnormalities?
Leg vein characteristics are genetically pre-determined. When thinness of the vein wall is inherited, very small increases in "venous" blood pressure can cause these weak vessels to dilate. Some causes of this include: genetic predisposition, pregnancy, excess fluid retention and bad valves in some veins (this could be due to injury). Standing on your feet for long periods of time, or hormonal changes can also cause them.
