It involves injecting a sclerosing agent mixed with air or gas to create foam, which displaces blood and induces controlled vein closure, improving venous circulation.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The procedure is performed under ultrasound guidance, ensuring precise delivery of the foam into affected veins. It is generally performed in outpatient settings, with minimal discomfort and rapid return to daily activities compared to surgical interventions.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Advantages of foam sclerotherapy include high effectiveness for both large and small varicose veins, absence of general anesthesia, and minimal scarring. Patients often experience significant cosmetic and functional improvement within weeks.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Possible complications include mild pain, bruising, or pigmentation along the treated vein. Rarely, allergic reactions or thrombosis may occur. Proper patient selection and skilled administration minimize risks and enhance long-term success.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<table>\r\n<tbody>\r\n<tr>\r\n<td>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Application

Solve This Problem?<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We can think of the veins in our legs as special pipelines that carry blood in one direction, towards the heart. Inside these pipes are valves like &#8220;check valves&#8221; that prevent the blood from backing up. Varicose veins begin when these valves fail to perform their function. Our genetic heritage, standing for long periods of time due to our profession, pregnancies or overweight can fatigue and deteriorate these delicate valves over time.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When the valves break down, blood begins to flow backwards, towards the feet, and pools in the vein. This creates a pressure on the vessel wall, just like a garden hose that gets hot when the end gets caught. Over time, the veins, unable to withstand this pressure, dilate, lengthen, become convoluted and appear blue-purple beneath the skin. We call this structure &#8220;varicose veins&#8221;.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For many people, varicose veins are not just an aesthetic concern. In fact, they are a harbinger of an underlying circulatory problem and can seriously affect quality of life. There are some common complaints that varicose veins can cause:<\/span><\/p>\r\n<ul>\r\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Throbbing or aching pain in the legs<\/span><\/li>\r\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Feeling of heaviness, especially in the evening<\/span><\/li>\r\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sudden cramps at night<\/span><\/li>\r\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Unbearable pain<\/span><\/li>\r\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Heat in the ankles (edema)<\/span><\/li>\r\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Skin discoloration and hardening<\/span><\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Varicose Veins Treatment with Sclerotherapy offers a very logical solution to this problem. If this vein is not doing its job and is causing problems by diverting blood in the wrong direction, then let&#8217;s close it permanently! The goal of treatment is to disable this &#8220;broken pathway&#8221;. In this way, the blood begins to use healthy and properly functioning alternative vascular pathways. As a result, both the unpleasant symptoms caused by varicose veins disappear and the legs regain a healthy and smooth appearance as they should be.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_effect_does_varicose_veins_treatment_with_sclerotherapy_have_on_the_body\"><\/span><b>What effect does varicose veins treatment with sclerotherapy have on the body?<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The principle of operation of sclerotherapy is based on the rational use of the body&#8217;s self-healing power. During the procedure, we inject a drug called a &#8220;sclerosant&#8221; into the varicose vein we want to treat. This medicine starts a gentle and controlled reaction in the cell layer lining the inside of the vein. This reaction triggers the vessel walls to stick together. Blood can no longer pass through the closed vessel.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">After this stage, our body takes over. It gradually absorbs and eliminates this closed vein, which no longer has a function, gradually shredding it over time. This process can take several weeks or months. Eventually, the problem vein disappears permanently. So sclerotherapy does not just mask a problem, it offers a permanent solution by eliminating the source of the problem. This is an extremely elegant treatment method that works in harmony with the body&#8217;s natural mechanisms.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Are_there_any_differences_between_the_drugs_used_in_the_treatment\"><\/span><b>Are there any differences between the drugs used in the treatment?<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Yes, there is no single standard drug in sclerotherapy. We choose drugs with different properties depending on the type, diameter and location of the vein to be treated. This allows us to maximize the success and safety of the treatment. The main types of sclerosing agents we use are as follows:<\/span><\/p>\r\n<ul>\r\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Detergent Agents (such as Polidocanol, STS)<\/span><\/li>\r\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Osmotic Agents (such as Hypertonic Saline, Glycerin)<\/span><\/li>\r\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Chemical irritants<\/span><\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Today, the most frequently and safely preferred agents are the drugs in the detergent group. Their effectiveness is very high, especially when used in foam form. We will decide which medication is most suitable for you after a detailed evaluation.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_are_the_Application_Types_of_Varicose_Veins_Treatment_with_Sclerotherapy\"><\/span><b>What are the Application Types of Varicose Veins Treatment with Sclerotherapy?<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sclerotherapy offers a variety of application techniques to treat different vein types in the most effective way. This allows us to design the treatment almost like a personalized tailor.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Liquid Sclerotherapy: This is the most classic form of this method. The drug is given in liquid form directly into the vein. It gives excellent results, especially in the treatment of the red, thin, &#8220;cobweb-like&#8221; capillaries (telangiectasias) and the slightly thicker, bluish-colored reticular veins on the surface of the skin. Ideal for very thin veins.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Foam Sclerotherapy: In this technique, we mix the liquid medicine with air or medical gases in a special way and turn it into foam. The great advantage of this foam is that when it is introduced into the vein, it displaces the blood and makes much more effective contact with the vessel wall. While the liquid medicine can mix with the blood and lose some of its potency, the foam form retains the strength of the medicine. This makes it highly effective even in larger varicose veins. It allows us to treat a larger area with fewer drugs.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Foam Sclerotherapy with Ultrasound: This is the &#8220;high-tech&#8221; version of sclerotherapy. Sometimes the varicose veins we see in the leg are actually fed by an unseen main vein deeper in the skin. Closing only the surface veins without treating this source vein only temporarily solves the problem. In ultrasound-guided treatment, we use an ultrasound device to get a clear view of the inside of the shaft. This allows us to see with millimeter precision that the needle is inside the target vessel and to monitor the distribution of the drug inside the vessel. Finding and treating these invisible &#8220;root&#8221; causes maximizes the durability and success of treatment.

Sclerotherapy is an extremely simple and painless procedure that usually lasts between 15 and 45 minutes.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">After lying comfortably on the examination couch, the process begins. First, your skin in the area to be treated is cleaned with an antiseptic solution. Then, with almost hair-thin needles, the sclerosing medication is injected directly into the problem vessels. Our patients usually describe the insertion of the needle as a slight stinging sensation. There may be a slight burning sensation that lasts for seconds while the drug is being administered, but this sensation disappears immediately. No anesthesia or painkillers are required.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Several injections can be given in one session, depending on the extent of the varicose veins. At the end of the procedure, a pressure bandage is applied to your leg or you put on your varicose vein stockings directly. Afterwards, you can get up immediately and return to your daily life.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_awaits_me_after_varicose_veins_treatment_with_sclerotherapy\"><\/span><b>What awaits me after varicose veins treatment with sclerotherapy?<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The success of the treatment is directly related to how much attention you pay to the post-treatment period.

The destruction of the veins by the body is a process.

This is part of the healing process.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">First Capillaries: They usually begin to visibly fade and disappear within 3 to 6 weeks.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Medium Varicose Veins: These veins may take 3 to 4 months, sometimes longer, to completely disappear.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The comments and experiences of those who have undergone sclerotherapy also confirm this process.

A clear treatment plan and the number of sessions can be determined after your first examination.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Is_varicose_veins_treatment_with_sclerotherapy_a_suitable_option_for_me\"><\/span><b>Is varicose veins treatment with sclerotherapy a suitable option for me?<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you are unhappy with the appearance of varicose veins in your legs or if your quality of life is reduced due to complaints such as pain and heaviness, sclerotherapy may be a life-changing solution for you too.
