Advanced Sclerotherapy Surgery

Sclerotherapy treats people suffering from spider veins and smaller varicose veins. This procedure doesn’t involve any invasive techniques, which makes injection sclerotherapy a highly recommended treatment option. Patients can complete their treatment in just 15-45 minutes and return home immediately. Spider veins typically fade within 3-6 weeks, while larger veins need 3-4 months to show complete improvement. Medical advances have made foam sclerotherapy a powerful option to control reflux from specific vein junctions. The treatment's versatility extends beyond cosmetic concerns; it provides non-surgical alternatives for haemorrhoids and piles that cause discomfort.

State-of-the-art Breakthroughs at CARE Hospitals

CARE Hospitals pioneers vascular medicine by adopting advanced technology for sclerotherapy procedures. The hospital's approach has:

  • Ultrasound-guided sclerotherapy for precise injection placement
  • Foam sclerotherapy techniques that treat larger veins with minimal discomfort
  • Laser-assisted treatments that complement injection therapies
  • High-resolution imaging systems for accurate diagnosis and treatment planning

These technologies help the hospital's vascular surgeons achieve excellent outcomes with minimal patient discomfort. The hospital's hybrid operating rooms combine surgical and imaging equipment for complex vascular cases to ensure patients get the most appropriate care for their specific needs.

Conditions for Sclerotherapy 

The hospital's specialists recommend sclerotherapy for many vascular conditions, including:

  • Small to medium-sized varicose veins that cause discomfort or cosmetic concerns. 
  • Spider veins and telangiectasias that appear near the skin's surface. 
  • Haemorrhoids, particularly grades 1-3, where sclerotherapy offers an alternative to surgery. 
  • Recurring symptomatic veins that haven't responded to other treatments. 
  • Venous insufficiency - causing leg pain, swelling or skin changes.

CARE Hospital's team of specialists assesses each patient individually to ensure the procedure matches their specific needs and medical history.

Types of Sclerotherapy Procedures

CARE Hospitals provides several variations of sclerotherapy to address different vascular concerns:

  • Liquid sclerotherapy - works best for small spider veins near the skin's surface. This technique needs no anaesthetic and takes 30-45 minutes.
  • Foam sclerotherapy - works very well for larger veins. The foam increases contact with vessel walls and improves results while using less solution.
  • Ultrasound-guided sclerotherapy - treats deeper veins that are not visible at the surface. This precise technique has shown very high satisfaction rates, with studies showing improved quality of life in the majority of patients.
  • Large vein sclerotherapy - treats more significant varicose veins with specialised foam solutions.

The hospital performs over 200 successful vascular surgeries annually, showing its steadfast dedication to excellent patient care and advanced treatment options.

Know Your Procedure

You should understand every step, from preparation to recovery, before you commit to this procedure.

Pre-therapy Preparation

  • Your doctor will get into your medical history and vein condition. 
  • You should stop taking aspirin, ibuprofen, and blood thinners 48 hours before treatment. 
  • Stay away from tetracycline antibiotics 7-10 days before and after the procedure, as they might stain your skin. 
  • Come to your appointment without lotion on your legs and wear loose, comfortable clothing. 
  • You might need an ultrasound test if your veins show symptoms.

Sclerotherapy Procedure

You will lie on your back with your legs slightly elevated during this outpatient procedure. The doctor will disinfect the area and inject a sclerosing solution (sclerosants) into the targeted vein with a fine needle. Your vein wall will swell from this solution and stick together until it seals shut. You might feel mild stinging or cramping while getting the injection. The whole ordeal usually takes 15-60 minutes, based on how many veins need treatment.

Post-procedure Recovery

Take a walk right after treatment to prevent blood clots. Your doctor will advise you to wear compression stockings for 1 to 3 weeks. Keep away from strenuous activities, hot baths, and direct sunlight for two weeks after the sclerotherapy. Most patients go back to their daily routine the same day. Spider veins show complete results in 3-6 weeks, while larger veins take 3-4 months.

Risks and Complications

The procedure is generally safe, but you might experience:

  • Inflammation
  • Bruising
  • Skin discolouration
  • Hyperpigmentation 
  • Blood clots (rare) but need immediate medical attention. 
  • Allergic reactions 
  • Nerve damage 
  • Tissue necrosis in rare cases

Benefits of Sclerotherapy 

Sclerotherapy eliminates 50-80% of affected veins in just a single session. The procedure does more than improve appearance - it helps with aching, swelling, and leg cramps. You won't need anaesthesia, the discomfort is minimal, and successfully treated veins don't come back.

Insurance Assistance for Sclerotherapy 

Insurance companies usually cover sclerotherapy if it's medically necessary rather than for cosmetic purposes. They look at factors like documented pain, active bleeding, failed conservative treatments, and confirmed venous reflux. 

Second Opinion for Sclerotherapy 

Getting a second opinion will give you a better understanding of your treatment options. You should talk to another specialist if your doctor suggests surgical vein stripping instead of minimally invasive options, doesn't explain all treatments, or wants to treat visible veins without finding the source of insufficiency.

Frequently Asked Questions

Sclerotherapy treats varicose veins and spider veins with minimal invasion. The doctor injects a special solution (sclerosants) directly into the affected vessels. The solution irritates the blood vessel's lining and makes it swell. The vessel walls stick together and form a scar. Your body then absorbs the treated vein, which improves both looks and symptoms.

A typical session takes about 30-45 minutes. The actual time depends on the number of veins that need treatment and where they are located. You can easily fit the procedure into your day without much disruption to your schedule.

No, sclerotherapy isn't major surgery at all. The procedure needs no surgical cuts and happens right in the doctor's office. It's nowhere near as intense as regular varicose vein operations. You will walk in and out on the same day without any hospital stay.

People bounce back faster after sclerotherapy. Most patients return to their normal routine on the same day as their treatment. All the same, doctors usually recommend:

  • Wearing compression stockings for 1-3 weeks
  • Avoiding heavy exercise for about two weeks
  • Walking regularly helps to heal

Sclerotherapy usually doesn't need any anaesthesia. Some patients might get a local numbing shot before the injection. Larger vascular malformations might need general anaesthesia, but this is rare.

The procedure causes little discomfort. Most patients say that it feels like a small pinch or mild burning. You might feel a quick sting or cramp that lasts only a minute or two. Bigger veins can be more uncomfortable, but most people handle it fine without pain medicine.

Most patients experience mild and temporary complications after sclerotherapy. The common side effects show up as bruising and discomfort where the injections happen. Some patients may develop skin hyperpigmentation and tiny new vessels called telangiectatic matting.

Serious complications happen rarely but can include deep vein thrombosis. Tissue necrosis and nerve damage show up in rare cases. 

Not everyone can safely undergo sclerotherapy. People with known allergies to sclerosing agents cannot receive this treatment. The procedure isn't safe for patients with acute deep vein thrombosis or pulmonary embolism. Those with severe local or systemic infections, long-term immobility, or right-to-left shunts for foam sclerotherapy should avoid this treatment.

Age rarely stops someone from getting this treatment. Research shows older patients can safely undergo sclerotherapy. Most people who get this procedure are between 30-60 years old. Both younger adults and seniors can benefit from it if they meet the health requirements.

Several factors might make someone unsuitable for this treatment: 

  • Pregnant or breastfeeding women 
  • Bedridden patients who can't walk after the procedure should avoid it. 
  • People with uncontrolled medical conditions like diabetes or hypertension
  • Patients with clotting disorders 
  • People who might need their disordered veins for future bypass procedures
