Sclerotherapy for Spider and Varicose Veins in Chicago, IL
At Refine by Tulsi, we offer Sclerotherapy, an effective and minimally invasive treatment to eliminate spider veins and varicose veins, restoring smooth, clear skin. This popular vein treatment involves injecting a special solution into the affected veins, causing them to collapse and gradually fade. Whether you’re looking to treat small, visible spider veins or larger, more painful varicose veins, Dr. Tulsi Kotecha provides personalized Sclerotherapy treatments that are safe and highly effective.
What is Sclerotherapy?
Sclerotherapy is a non-surgical procedure used to treat spider veins and varicose veins. During the treatment, a solution called a sclerosant is injected into the problematic veins, which causes them to collapse and eventually be absorbed by the body. The blood flow is then rerouted through healthier veins, and the treated veins gradually fade from view. Over time, this leads to smoother, clearer skin and relief from symptoms associated with varicose veins, such as swelling and discomfort.
Who is a Good Candidate for Sclerotherapy?
You may be a good candidate for Sclerotherapy if you:
- Have small to medium-sized spider veins or varicose veins on your legs, thighs, or other areas.
- Experience pain, swelling, or heaviness in your legs due to varicose veins.
- Want a non-surgical solution to improve the appearance of veins and alleviate discomfort.
- Are in generally good health and do not have any conditions that could interfere with the healing process.
Dr. Tulsi Kotecha will assess your veins during your consultation and develop a customized treatment plan to address your specific needs.
How is Sclerotherapy Performed?
At Refine by Tulsi, Sclerotherapy is a quick, in-office procedure that requires minimal downtime. Here’s what to expect:
- Consultation: Dr. Kotecha will examine the veins you’d like to treat and determine if Sclerotherapy is the best option for you. She will also discuss your goals and expectations.
- Preparation: The treatment area will be cleaned and prepped. No anesthesia is usually required, as Sclerotherapy is relatively painless.
- Injection Process: Using a fine needle, Dr. Kotecha will inject the sclerosant solution directly into the affected veins. The solution causes the veins to collapse, and over time, they are reabsorbed by the body.
- Post-Treatment: After the procedure, compression stockings or bandages may be applied to help the treated veins heal. You can return to normal activities immediately but may need to avoid strenuous exercise for a few days.
