Varicose veins, Spider Veins? Dr Jozef Tryzno, is one of the very few physicians in Illinois Certified by American Board of Phlebology and Registered Vascular Technologist

Most varicose vein problems can now be treated safely, effectively, and practically painlessly with an exciting office procedure called sclerotherapy.

Sclerotherapy (the evaluation and treatment of varicose veins via the injection of a sclerosing chemical into the diseased veins) is a precise, highly technical cosmetic procedure performed by a physician specifically trained in execution of the procedure. 

The sclerotherapy injection procedure itself is done as follows: the physician, usually under magnification, systematically and according to his treatment plan injects a tiny amount of a special chemical called a sclerosing agent deep into the varicose veins.  Special needles and syringes are used to insure a precise injection.  Sometimes the injection is even guided by ultrasound.  When all veins that can be injected are treated, special dressings and a special stocking called a pressure gradient stocking are placed over the treated leg or legs.  Post treatment instructions are given and the patient can go home.

A day or two following treatment, the patient is usually telephoned by a medical assistant to check how things are going.  Then, in about two to four weeks, Dr. Tryzno looks at the treated areas to check the effects of the sclerotherapy treatment.  If things have gone as expected, treated veins have been scarred from the inside and they have begun to dry up and finally disappear.  If additional treatments are necessary, remaining veins are treated again, and so forth.  Simple spider veins usually require just one or two treatments, but deeper reticular veins and larger varicose veins may be treated two, three or even more times depending upon the patient's individual response to treatment, how well the patient follows after treatment advice, and how bad the venous disease is.

Overall, sclerotherapy is very effective in treating most types of varicose veins and usually it completely takes the place of surgery.  And sclerotherapy almost always achieves fantastic cosmetic results.

Varicose veins represent the most common vascular problem there is.  Isn't it great that something as simple and painless as sclerotherapy can be done to treat it.  Sclerotherapy is like contact lenses, it isn't for everyone, but for the many that can have it, it's the greatest thing going.

Dr. Tryzno is a Board Certified Phlebologist skilled in the procedure of sclerotherapy.
