Varicose Vein Sclerotherapy in Pottsville and Hazleton, PA

What Are Varicose Veins?

Varicose veins are an overgrowth of medium to large caliber veins occurring just beneath the skin surface on the legs of some individuals.

What Causes Sclerotherapy?

They appear as a result of damage to the internal one-way valves that usually promote blood flow from the legs toward the heart, resulting in vein enlargement and sluggish function.

What Happens If Varicose Veins Are Left Untreated?

With time, varicose veins often become larger and more extensive, causing symptoms such as pain, aching, burning, swelling and night cramps.

Treat Varicose Veins With Sclerotherapy

Varicose veins can be successfully treated with a procedure known as sclerotherapy in which the affected veins are injected with a solution that causes them to collapse and fade from view. The procedure is variable in length  (depending on the severity and number of varicose veins) and is comfortably performed in an office setting using a mild topical anesthetic cream.

Results Of Sclerotherapy

The success of the treatment can be enhanced with the subsequent use of compression stockings.  What emerges following sclerotherapy is a smoother skin surface without embarrassing raised, visible varicose veins.
