How do you decide which to use, injection sclerotherapy or laser?
Size of the vein to be treated is the biggest determinant. At VI we try to do as much as we can first with injection sclerotherapy. This method is much more efficient and less expensive than laser alone, because you can treat many more veins in a shorter period of time. Also, the laser is effective only when it is used on the tiniest of veins. Depth of skin color is another determinant. Our laser works best with medium and lighter skin tones.
