- Small superficial blood vessels
- Enlarged capillaries on any area of the body
- Venous nodes
- Small diameter subcutaneous veins
For the procedure, a small diameter needle or mini-catheter is used. Modern sclerosants are completely safe. Sclerotherapy provides excellent therapeutic and cosmetic results for an extended period, or in some cases, permanently.
