Sclerotherapy

Sclerotherapy, meaning ‘injection therapy’, treats spider and varicose veins. It’s been successfully used since the 1930s.

A salt solution or other mild chemical is injected into the vein multiple times, causing the vein’s wall to swell and collapse. The body then absorbs the collapsed vein and re-directs the blood to a healthy vein. Injections are mostly painless, resembling a pinprick.

Following injections, treated areas are wrapped in elastic bandages for several hours. Though compression stockings may be required, normal daily activities can be resumed immediately after the procedure. Sclerotherapy can be used on the legs, face, breasts, hands, and other locations.

Medical Procedures
- Skin Biopsy
  Skin biopsies involve removing a sample of tissue or cells for microscopic examination. Results are sent to labs for further examination.
- Rosacea Treatments
  Rosacea, a common condition, is composed of reddish areas on the skin. Symptoms may also include pink or irritated eyes.
- Acne Treatments
  Acne occurs when the oil glands are overly active, resulting in pimples, blackheads, and whiteheads. In the deeper dermis, it takes the form of cysts.
- Moles / Skin Growths
  Moles, freckles, and skin growths are generally benign. However, it is critical to seek medical attention for any mole or freckle that changes color or shape.
- Chemical Peels
  Chemical peels even out skin textures and pigmentation by removing the damaged layer of outer skin. They also improve facial blemishes and soften wrinkles.
