What are the advantages over sclerotherapy?
It has been said that: “Removing blood vessels by sclerotherapy is like mowing grass — one blade at a time!” With injection sclerotherapy, the operator inserts a needle into the blood vessel and tries to inject an irritating solution into the unwanted vessel. The body detects that the vessel has been damaged, and reabsorbs the unwanted vessel. Injection sclerotherapy can be an excellent technique for the removal of large vessels on the legs, and injection sclerotherapy is superior to any kind of laser treatment for the removal of blood vessels which are thicker than 3 mm in diameter (about 1/8 of an inch).
