Vascular Sclerotherapy
This is a treatment method for reticular varicose veins (spider varicose veins) and telangiectasia.
Sclerotherapy
When a vascular sclerosing agent is administered to the affected area through a thin needle, it is temporarily invisible, but usually gradually disappears after 3 to 6 months, with an average of 60% disappearing.Afterwards, the blood vessels become hard (hardened) and the color temporarily becomes darker, but it gradually disappears as it is absorbed.Even if you have blue blood vessels on the back of your hand, this is one of the effective ways to get rid of them.After drug injection, wear medical compression stockings for at least 4 hours a day for 3 days.

Precautions after vascular sclerotherapy treatment
- Please exercise by walking for about 30 minutes for 3 days after treatment.
- You may feel tightness in your chest after the procedure, but this is a temporary phenomenon due to the administration of vasodilators and will return to normal over time. At this time, just walk until the tightness in your chest disappears. In most cases, it gets better after walking for 5-10 minutes.
- After the procedure, the color of the blood vessels may become darker and harder, but this is a result of the vascular sclerosing agent being accurately administered into the blood vessels and is part of the treatment process, so please follow the outpatient visit schedule exactly.
- Wear compression stockings for 4 hours a day, 3 days.
- If you drink alcohol or smoke, please refrain from doing so for a day.
- Avoid showering or bathing on the day of sclerotherapy, and the next morning, remove the adhesive bandage and shower.
Compression Stockings
Medical high-elasticity stockings (compression stockings), also called ‘stewardess stockings’ as they are commonly worn by stewardesses, help blood circulation in the leg veins.Therefore, if you are pregnant or have a job that involves standing for long periods of time, wearing high elastic medical stockings will help improve venous circulation in the lower extremities.Conservative treatment for varicose veins, it is not a fundamental treatment and provides auxiliary help.
Medical compression stockings are different from general stockings!
The pressure is strongest at the ankles and the tightening force decreases as you go up.
This product is specially manufactured for medical use as a prevention and treatment method prescribed by medical staff to patients with varicose veins. Unlike general compression stockings that only tighten, medical compression stockings are designed to provide maximum pressure at the ankle area, and the pressure on the leg decreases as you go up from the ankle, so that the thigh area is compressed with about 40% of the pressure compared to the ankle.
The pressure difference moves the venous blood under the legs to the heart and prevents backflow of venous blood.
