What is Sclerotherapy treatment for Varicose Veins? | Vein Health Clinic

Welcome to the first in a series of vein treatment educational videos by Dr. Peter Paraskevas from Vein Health Medical Clinic. Today, we look at one of the most commonly asked questions at our practice. What is sclerotherapy treatment for varicose veins? What does sclerotherapy do to the problem vein, and how can it be used to remove spider veins or varicose veins?

We also cover what a sclerosant is, and what it is made of. What patients and doctors need to be aware of to minimise complications with sclerotherapy vein treatment, and the importance of proper training and certification for doctors wanting to perform sclerotherapy.
