Treatment for Venous Disorders Varicose Vein Treatments

Foam Sclerotherapy

Foam sclerotherapy is a technique used for the treatment of large varicose veins, in which the sclerosant solution is mixed with air to create a foam and then injected into the vein.

Procedure Duration :

10 - 20 min

This method is particularly effective and faster for large varicose veins. Being minimally invasive, patients can return to their daily activities immediately.

Foam sclerotherapy works more quickly than traditional sclerotherapy and produces a stronger effect on the veins. The foam spreads over a larger area inside the vein, making the treatment faster and more effective. The procedure is painless, and mild side effects such as bruising or swelling may occur but typically resolve quickly.

In foam sclerotherapy, the sclerosant closes the veins, which are gradually absorbed by the body. Patients usually experience rapid relief and can return to daily life soon after treatment.

In varicose veins, after evaluating any underlying venous disease, sclerotherapy can be safely applied to suitable patients. For detailed information and to schedule an appointment, please contact us.

When Is Foam Sclerotherapy Used?

Foam sclerotherapy is generally preferred for:

Medium- to large-sized varicose veins
Recurrent varicose vein problems
Leg pain and heaviness that worsen by the end of the day
Swelling (edema)
Cosmetic or functional concerns related to varicose veins

In foam sclerotherapy, the diameter, course, and valve structure of the vein to be treated are carefully evaluated. The sclerosant in foam form is injected into the vein, allowing prolonged contact with the inner vein wall. This approach is especially effective for medium- to large-sized varicose veins. The treatment plan is personalized for each patient, and multiple sessions may be required if necessary.

Mild bruising, firmness, or tenderness may occur after the procedure, but these symptoms are generally temporary.
Compression stockings may need to be worn for the duration recommended by the physician.
Patients can usually return to daily activities on the same day.
Follow-up Doppler ultrasound examinations are performed to assess the effectiveness of the treatment.

After the procedure, mild bruising, firmness, or tenderness may occur, which is usually temporary. It may be necessary to wear compression stockings for the period recommended by your doctor. Patients can return to their daily activities on the same day. The effectiveness of the treatment is monitored with a follow-up Doppler ultrasound.

Those with medium to large varicose veins
Patients who do not want surgical intervention
Those who have previously undergone varicose vein treatment but experienced recurrence

Suitability is determined after a detailed examination and ultrasound evaluation.
