Shelby Township | Livonia, Michigan Ultrasound Guided Sclerotherapy Treatment

Ultrasound Guided Sclerotherapy is a procedure used to treat varicose veins through injections. Prior to treatment, an ultrasound will be used to map out the veins in your legs so that the doctor will know the precise size, area, and valves of each vein. The treatment is done by injecting a medication directly into the veins that will cause the veins to destruct and collapse. During the procedure, an ultrasound is used to guide the provider and accurately identify diseased veins under the skins surface.

The doctor can monitor the injections into the veins and ensure optimal results. The treatment is non-invasive patients will feel little to no pain. Patients will also be able to return back to normal activity immediately after the procedure. Benefits of Ultrasound Guided Sclerotherapy include fast and quick results, along with permanently treating the vein disease. After the treatment, the patient will be required to wear compression socks in order to ensure that the veins are completely closed off and shut.
