Standard Sclerotherapy : Are there other treatment methods?
1. Lasers — Lasers are usually not helpful in the treatment of smaller surface veins. Endovenous Laser Ablation can be the appropriate treatment for deeper vein problems that cause varicose veins.
2. Surgery — Surgically tying veins off (ligation) or pulling them out (stripping) are the procedures that are used for treating large leg veins. It is the belief of Dr Varcoe that non surgical methods Ultrasound Guided Sclerotherapy and Endovenous Laser Ablation are usually a better treatment option.
