Sclerotherapy Dallas

I don't know who is more popular, the Dallas Cowboys or the Dallas Cowboy Cheerleaders! A prerequisite for a Dallas Cowboy Cheerleader is beautiful legs. If you experience problems with spider veins or varicose legs and would like to have gorgeous legs then sclerotherapy in Dallas may be for you.

Sclerotherapy is used to treat spider and varicose veins. Sclerotherapy is where an injection of a solution is placed directly into the problematic vein. This process irritates the lining of the vessel, forcing it to swell and stick together, and the blood to clot. With time, the vessel becomes scar tissue that fades from sight.

The Procedure

Your surgeon will mark the veins that need to be treated while you are standing. If you have larger veins, they will be treated first. Your surgeon will inject a sclerosing solution into the vein with a tiny needle. The solution will make your vein turn white, then, gradually disappear. A normal procedure session lasts from 30 minutes to an hour. Injection sclerotherapy may be a good option to surgery, provided that your venous system is not affected.

After Treatment

After the treatment you can drive yourself home, can resume your normal activities and will be encouraged to walk. You should wear support hosiery or compression wraps to protect the treated vessels. After treatment, do not take aspirin, ibuprofen and other anti-inflammatory medications for at least 48 hours. Tylenol may be used if needed. You should not take hot baths or sit in a whirlpool or sauna, nor apply hot compresses or any form of heat to the injected areas for 48 hours after treatment. You should also stay away from direct exposure to sunlight, sun bathing and tanning beds, jogging, high-impact aerobics and swimming for 1-2 weeks following treatment.

Sclerotherapy side effects include:

• Blood clots

• Severe inflammation

• Adverse allergic reactions to the sclerosing solution

• Skin injury that could leave a small permanent scar

• Pigmentation irregularities

• Telangiectatic matting - reddish blood vessels that appear around the treated area
