As a surgeon specializing in phlebology and general surgery, Dr. Moszczynski is able to get rid of unsightly and uncomfortable varicose veins with sclerotherapy.

What Is Sclerotherapy?

Sclerotherapy uses injections to treat varicose veins. The injections seal the veins off, preventing them from growing larger and eventually completely reducing their appearance.

Varicose veins are enlarged blue, purple, or red veins that are very commonly seen on the legs and on the face. Safe removal of unsightly veins is possible because your body does not rely on these veins to function effectively. Sclerotherapy injections result in minimized vein appearance, while alleviating associated discomfort or pain, in approximately 85 percent of cases. You might be surprised at how simple it is to find relief from the symptoms of varicose veins.

Because sclerotherapy consists of a series of injections, Dr. Moszczynski is able to maximize convenience and offer the service to patients in the office. Each treatment is completed in less than 30 minutes, so there is no need to worry about taking time away from your everyday life. While each patient’s condition is different, it typically takes two to six sclerotherapy injection treatments to see maximum results and the biggest reduction in your symptoms.

Some patients may experience mild discomfort at the site of the injection, there is no recovery period required after sclerotherapy treatments. Any side effects are temporary and will resolve themselves within 24 hours. Dr. Moszczynski encourages patients to resume their regular daily activities as soon as possible to promote faster recuperation.

How Does Sclerotherapy Work?

To prepare for treatment, Dr. Moszczynski will wash and disinfect the area where the treatment will be applied. The doctor will then pull the skin taught and inject the sclerosing solution into the target veins, injecting solution at each inch. While treatment varies for each individual, sclerotherapy generally involves less than twelve injections. After administering the sclerotherapy injections, Dr. Moszczynski will wrap the treated area with compression tape. The process generally takes less than thirty minutes to complete.
