• 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.
