Leg Veins
Common Questions
How many times must I have the procedure?
Sclerotherapy can require multiple sessions, usually a minimum of 3. Several injections are usually required to effectively treat any vein.
How frequently should these individual treatment sessions be done?
The same area should not be injected for 2-4 weeks to allow for complete healing, although other areas may
undergo treatment during this time.
How painful is this process?
Seldom is severe pain experienced more often than not an ache is described.
How many veins can be treated at one time?
This is more a question of how much solution can be used since this is the limiting factor. Typically in the most
severe situations 2-3 visits are needed to do the initial injection into all the veins. In the majority of time
all the veins in a mild case can be injected in one session.
