Capillary varicose veins, also known as spiderweb varicose veins, are not a serious problem but can be cosmetically disturbing. If it progresses, it is beneficial to treat it as it may cause pain. One of the factors that determine the treatment method for varicose veins is their size. The sclerotherapy method is applied to varicose veins with a diameter of 1-4 mm. The fact that the process is completed in a very short time and the opportunity to return to daily life on the same day is the biggest advantage.
In this method, the liquid or foam-shaped drug is injected into the vein and the vein is closed. Since the blood flow is directed to a different side, the vessels that are not used over time are eliminated by the body. The destruction of varicose veins does not cause any harm to the person.
The physician decides which treatment approach will be applied to which patient in the treatment of varicose veins, depending on the condition of the varicose veins. Therefore, in addition to the physical examination before the procedure, Doppler ultrasonography should be performed to determine the condition of the vessels.
Foam sclerotherapy, which has been widely used in recent years, is preferred because it can be accessed in larger areas with less medication. In this technique, because the drug is mixed with air, denser and more substances can be obtained. Thus, a larger area in the vein can be treated. It is important to apply the method by experienced physicians, although it is advantageous to use less medication. Although the procedure is completed in a brief time, it is the number of varicose veins of the patient that determines the duration in general. People with common thin veins may need to repeat this procedure several times.
After sclerotherapy, the patient can walk home. They can return to work the same day. And they do not need to rest. Compression socks may need to be used in line with the physician's control. The results are expected within a few weeks.
