Unsuccessful Sclerotherapy. Another Option for Vein Treatment?
I had sclerotherapy last year to try to remove a blue vein on my leg. It wasnt bulging out, was just visible under the skin. I pigmented after the treatment and a year later, I still have pigmentation and the vein is still there! As well, I have since developed a couple other small veins in the surrounding area. I feel like the injections made my leg worse. Because of the pigmenting, I am hesitant to have sclerotherapy done again. What are my other options to get rid of the veins for good?
Leg Vein Treatment Other Than Sclerotherapy
Thank you for your question. You may be a good candidate for laser treatment for your leg veins. In our San Francisco Bay Area practice we frequently treat leg veins with laser and have a high patient satisfaction rate. Our laser is effective at treating broken capillaries and small spider veins to larger darker veins. Laser treatment, like sclerotherapy, may require several treatments and may make veins look worse before they look better (usually for less than 4 weeks). Unfortunately both sclerotherapy and laser treatment run the risk of worsening the appearance and neither treatment guarantees the veins will be gone for good. I hope this helps.
