Foam Sclerotherapy in Lafayette, LA
Varicose veins can develop at any point in life due to excess weight, pregnancy, or injuries, and can be both painful and unattractive. In the past, options for dealing with them have been limited to surgical procedures, laser treatment, or saline injections. All of these choices can be costly, and some have unwanted side effects.
Foam sclerotherapy is a new method of dealing with varicose veins. By processing a medicine into foam by combining it with air or carbon dioxide, and then injecting it into the enlarged vein, the vein is damaged. Because the foam expands and sticks to the walls of the varicose vein, the medication forces it to collapse inward.
The treatment requires less medication, and the results are achieved within weeks. Another advantage of foam sclerotherapy is that the foam rarely leaks from the vein, as a liquid sometimes does. Foam sclerotherapy can also be used to treat the spider veins that feed varicose veins.
After treatment with foam sclerotherapy, patients can return to work quickly. Sometimes more than one treatment is necessary, and each session typically costs from $200 to $500. Researching foam sclerotherapy is a good idea for those with varicose veins. One call to a local provider will result in gaining the information necessary for an informed decision.
