Ultrasound Guided Sclerotherapy in Bethesda, MD
Individuals searching for a way to eliminate painful varicose veins without surgery may wamt to consider a procedure called ultrasound guided sclerotherapy. This treatment allows a physician to locate the exact locations of veins beneath the skin and see them on a screen. He can then inject them with a chemical which collapses the walls of the vein. After ultrasound guided sclerotherapy, the vein shrinks and becomes less noticeable or disappears.
Because ultrasound guided sclerotherapy is less invasive than surgery and less painful than laser treatments, it is an excellent choice for those who have little time for recovery. It does take over six weeks for the veins to disappear entirely, though, so patience is required after the procedure.
Although the desired results may be achieved through one session of ultrasound guided sclerotherapy, most patients require two to six treatments, which are scheduled about every two months. If the treatments are performed by a cosmetician, they will be less expensive than those performed by a surgeon, but they range in average cost from $200 to $500 per session.
Anyone seeking treatment for varicose vein problems should contact a provider of ultrasound guided sclerotherapy for more information. This treatment could be a good solution to your venous problems
