Sclerotherapy New Orleans LA
I had a series of sclerotherapy treatment 5 years ago and I still have the stockings. I have lost a little weight since my last treatment series. Do I need new stockings?
A weight gain or loss of 10 pounds or more will require a new fitting of prescription stockings. Properly measured and fit stockings are necessary to ensure the proper amount of compression is being held on treated veins. Properly fit stockings improve your results and prevent complications, such as phlebitis and hemosiderin staining in the treated veins.
I have tried the new Asclera treatment for my legs veins. I feel that past treatments with saline worked better. Are saline injections still available to treat leg veins?
Although the preferred standard for leg vein treatment is now Asclera injections, some of my patients still respond better to traditional saline treatment. I am happy to perform saline injections for your future treatments, if that is what works best for you. Every patient is unique and the approach to treatment will vary. Occasionally, we even use laser to treat leg veins.
Q.The veins on my hands look so prominent. They make my hands look old and I want my hands not to give away my age. Can I get these ugly veins to shrink or disappear?
Sclerotherapy is a popular technique to reduce or eliminate unsightly, prominent veins on the back of the hands. As we age, loss of supporting tissue make veins more noticeable. Sclerotherapy is a technique best known for leg veins, but it can be used on many other areas of the body when the veins look too prominent. The treatment involves the injection into the unwanted vein of a sclerosant that causes damage to the cells that line the blood vessel. The inflammation that results from the liquid sclerosant causes the vein to close down or shrink to make it less noticeable from the surface.
