Minimally Invasive, Doctor Performed, Painless Procedure to Remove Leg Varicose Veins. Performed by the Center's Vein Specialist, Doctor R. Dishakjian.
Foam Sclerotherapy is a relatively new technique to remove bulging leg varicose veins. During the treatment, the Doctor injects the treatment substance as a foam rather than a liquid. The foam makes better contact with the inside of the vein walls and does not interact with the blood, allowing it to stay in contact with the vein walls for a loger period of time. The foam irritates the vein, causing your body's natural systems to dissolve the vein, which then disappears. Click here to watch the Doctor on ABC Eyewitness News...
The foam is created by combining traditional sclerotherapy with harmless carbon dioxide gas to produce a foam with a shaving cream consistency. The thick consistency of the foam makes it very effective for treating large and bulging leg veins.
During the procedure, Dr. Dishakjian uses an ultrasound-guided catheter to inject the foam into the veins to be treated, eliminating any collateral damage to veins which do not require treatment. The unsightly, bulging, discolored veins are affected within minutes of the injection and are absorbed by the body and disappear over time without the scarring and bruising of surgery.
Immediately after treatment, you will be fitted with a pressure bandage to keep the walls of the vein close together for optimal treatment. After 12-24 hours, you can change into graduated pressure stockings which should be worn for about two weeks.
