Sclerotherapy<\/strong> is the injection of a substance that irritates the vein in order to obtain its definitive obliteration and scarring.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Sclerosis of varicose veins is used for medium-sized varicose veins, reticular varicose veins or blue-coloured varicosities (red ones being treated preferentially with laser) as well as limited varicose veins in elderly people.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Sclerotherapy requires an occlusion (5 days of bandaging) and one month for stable results<\/strong> whereas laser treatment requires 2 months for the veins to disappear (but no bandaging).<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

Side effects<\/strong> are due to the poorly injected product: residual pigmentation, sun exposure after injection in the following month. Contraindications<\/strong>: known allergy to the sclerosing agent, systemic disease, recent thrombosis, bedridden patient.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

It takes 1 to 2 sessions<\/strong> per leg. Each session includes about 2 to 3 ampoules of sclerosing agent (depending on their concentration). At each session, one leg is fully treated and bandaged for 5 days.<\/strong><\/p>\n

A range of estimates can be obtained during the consultation, as this is necessary to discuss the correct indication. Laser is often preferred<\/strong> as it does not require bandaging or post-treatment rest.<\/p>\n

Partial reimbursement authorized by the mutual in most diagnoses.<\/span><\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
