Ultrasound Guided Foam Sclerotherapy
What is it?
Ultrasound guided foam sclerotherapy.
How does it work?
Varicose veins, which are often found on the backs of the knees and calves, are injected with a special foam through a tiny needle directly into the veins. The foam pushes the blood along the veins to 'deflate' the unsightly bulges.
Patients generally need around 10 injections in each leg and the procedure is usually performed under local anaesthetic.
Recovery time?
Patients may experience slight discomfort during the injections, but the anaesthetic numbs most of the pain. Some people also experience a dull ache a few hours afterwards.
The procedure takes 30-40 minutes, after which a firm compression bandage is applied to the treated areas. This must be worn for up to two weeks afterwards, which means covering it in plastic when having a bath or shower.
Cost
Prices start from £1,000 for one leg and £1,600 for both.
