Foam and liquid sclerotherapy
What is sclerotherapy?
Sclerotherapy is used in the treatment of vascular changes. This is most often associated with the treatment of varicose veins, but the possibilities it offers are much broader. This is an effective way to combat hemangiomas, hemorrhoids, or even testicular hydrocele.
Regardless of the exact reason for the procedure, each time sclerotherapy involves the introduction of a special measure into the lumen of the vessel, which should "close" it so that it has so-called sclerosing properties. The chemical introduced in this way causes vascular fibrosis during a controlled inflammatory process.
In the case of small varicose veins or vascular asterisks (which we professionally call telangiectasias), sclerotherapy is one of the main methods of their removal.
How does foam sclerotherapy differ from liquid sclerotherapy?
It is worth noting that regardless of the method used, sclerotherapy treatment always looks the same. However, the difference may lie in the type of sclerosing agent - it can be liquid or foam. The form in which the drug is administered is very practical for the procedure of closing veins.
The technique using a foaming agent is more accurate and effective - the drug fills the vessels more effectively, increasing the contact surface with their wall. The process of making injectable foam is called the Tessari method.
Recommendations after surgery
The recommendations after sclerotherapy do not significantly limit daily activity. Immediately after the procedure, you can recommend wearing special compression stockings on your legs (or leg, depending on the area of treatment). After that, a walk is recommended, which should last at least 15 minutes. Pieces of gauze are usually glued to the legs.
A few days after sclerotherapy, it is not recommended to stay in one position for a long time - standing or sitting. For about 2 weeks after the procedure, you should refrain from intense physical exertion. It is also not recommended to sunbathe, use a solarium and take long baths.
The fear of surgery (regardless of its type) is dictated by various factors. This is often caused by the fear of pain. In the case of sclerotherapy, anesthesia of the treated area is not used before the procedure - this is not necessary.
The sclerosing fluid is injected with very thin needles. Punctures are practically painless. Rarely, some patients may experience pain, but within 2-3 days after the procedure. Most often it goes away spontaneously and does not require taking specialized medications.
Sclerotherapy is not one of the most expensive procedures. Its cost varies slightly depending on the operator and the clinic where sclerotherapy is performed. Prices usually start at $50, but the final cost of treatment depends on the number of vessels being closed. It is worth remembering that some patients may need to repeat sclerotherapy.
