How Sclerotherapy Works for Varicose Veins: Juno Beach, Florida Dermatologist Explains

During your consultation, Dr. Schroeder provides information you’ll need to prepare for treatment. Also at this visit, you will be measured for compression hose. We uniformly use thigh-high, toeless compression stockings (like a “sleeve” for your legs), as we find these much more comfortable and less limiting for out patients. 

When you arrive for your treatment, we will cleanse the treatment area and use a very fine needle to precisely inject the solution into the targeted vein(s). Most people experience minor cramps or stinging during the injection. Afterward, pressure bandages are applied followed by compression stockings that are worn for two weeks following your treatment. Most patients resume normal daily activities within a few days, and it is important to avoid sun exposure after treatment.
