Стоимость от от 500 000 сум

Sclerotherapy is a procedure that is used to treat diseases of the vascular system as well as vascular neoplasms.

The main advantage of sclerotherapy is that the operation helps to avoid soreness, traumatization of tissues and scars. When performing sclerotherapy, a sclerosing effect is made on the vascular wall by inserting a needle with a special drug.

Types of sclerotherapy

The main types of sclerotherapy are:

Microsclerotherapy is the simplest procedure of treatment, which is used when there are stars or grids on the skin of the legs. Dimensions of pathological formations should be less than 2 mm. During the procedure, the doctor "injects" the injection of a sclerosing agent into the vein
Foam sclerotherapy (foam-form therapy) - this technique is used to remove large subcutaneous veins. A feature of this type of treatment is that the active substance (detergent) is introduced into the vessel in the form of a foam

Foam-form therapy has some superiority over other sclerotherapy techniques

It is possible to carry out therapy of rather large vessels, for example, superficial main veins on the legs
It Improves the area of contact of the active substance with the inner wall of the vein
Due to the foam-like state, the dose of the drug administered can be reduced, bypassing the reduction in efficacy

Sclerotherapy is performed without anesthesia for 20-30 minutes, and right after it the patient can go home. For carrying out the sclerotherapy of veins, very thin injection needles or micro-plates are used, thanks to which the procedure is practically painless. Sclerosant medicines also have an analgesic effect, they are safe for use, only occasionally the introduction of sclerosants into the vein is accompanied by a feeling of slight burning. Immediately after sclerotherapy, the doctor massages the skin above the affected vein for better drug contact with the wall, then special compression tights or stockings for around the clock wearing. After the sclerotherapy procedure, you should walk for 10 to 20 minutes, so that the healing solution spreads better through the vein.

After

The recovery period is very short. At first, after the procedure, it is necessary to wear compression stockings (1-3 months), but within a few days after sclerosing the patient will have the opportunity to go out in the open clothes. The main recommendation of doctors after sclerosing is mandatory daily hourly walks, as well as restrictions on immobility or, conversely, excessive physical activity. Also it is necessary to postpone visiting baths and saunas for 1-2 months.

In some patients, seals of varicose veins may form, which self-eradicate on average within 3 months. It is also possible the appearance of pigmentation at the site of the sclerotized vein (in about 5% of patients), which subsequently passes. Darkening of the skin persists for no more than one year, after which it completely disappears.

Sclerotherapy corrects the cosmetic defect of varicose veins for a long time, often for life. Even if complete sclerotherapy is not achieved, the signs of the disease are significantly reduced. Sometimes it takes several sessions of sclerotherapy.
