What can I expect?
- Hypertonic saline (23.4%) will be diluted 50/50 into 1 cc syringe with 0.9% normal saline
- Approximately 4-6 one cc syringes per treatment are required for bilateral upper, lower, anterior and posterior legs.
- Injections can be painful
- Focal pressure will be applied over the treated veins with cotton balls, tape, and Coban™
- Legs will be wrapped with ACE bandages in office providing needed compression
- You will need to purchase compression stockings to wear after the procedure.
- o Compression should be worn continuously for at least 24 hours after injection and for at least 10–14 days thereafter to help the healing process and limit pain and post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation. This will also increase treatment efficacy.
- Follow up office visit will be scheduled 6-8 weeks after injection sclerotherapy
- Additional veins in other areas can be treated 1-2 weeks later, but retreatment of any single area should be delayed for 6–8 weeks to allow the treated veins to fully heal.
- Cost of sclerotherapy is $600 for a 30-minute session.
