Unsightly spider veins getting you down?
Larger varicose veins causing you trouble?
Looking for a simple, relatively painless but very effective alternative to traditional vein surgery?

If this is you, we can help!
Phoenix Wellness Clinic uses an advanced technique called Ultrasound Guided Sclerotherapy to treat vein problems including most large varicose veins without the need for conventional surgery.

Varicose Vein Treatment in the Past
In the past people with large varicose veins had no option but to treat them with conventional plastic surgery, which often involved pain, bleeding and general anaesthesia as the veins were stripped out of the body using surgical instruments. Smaller veins could be successfully treated with sclerotherapy, a method which involves injecting a substance into veins that causes them to shrink and then disappear as the body naturally absorbs the treated vein. These methods have been successfully developed and improved for over 100 years. Unfortunately in the past this technique was only suitable for smaller veins – those with large varicose veins had to opt for the scalpel – until now!

Ultrasound Guided Sclerotherapy – New Advanced Technology
Ultrasound guided sclerotherapy uses the same proven methods as traditional sclerotherapy on much larger veins, made possible through the benefits of ultrasound technology. It is a godsend for people who want a fast, relatively painless method for varicose vein removal, without surgery.

Often a single treatment with ultrasound guided sclerotherapy will also remove clusters of spider veins, especially if they are networked with large varicose veins. This is a major benefit of this technique – often those who suffered both varicose and spider vein problems would require surgery first to deal with large varicose veins before undertaking traditional sclerotherapy on spider veins. Varicose veins are dead veins that are very painful, and laser surgery on the surrounding skin can cause all types of complications and discomfort. Therefore, if there is a chance that ultrasound guided sclerotherapy can remove them all you will not only greatly minimise the total cost of your treatment, but the discomfort and risk of complications as well.

Differences between Ultrasound Guided Sclerotherapy and Conventional Sclerotherapy
Ultrasound sclerotherapy is similar to traditional sclerotherapy, with the major difference being the doctor has a monitor in which they can visually see veins that cannot be seen by the naked eye. This means hidden veins can be found below the surface of the skin and then eliminated with greater accuracy and precision. The procedure is also considered much safer for treating very large veins.

While it’s unrealistic to believe that every affected vein treated by sclerotherapy will disappear completely as a result of treatment, most patients experience significant and noticeable improvement. This can enhance their appearance, improve self confidence, cause veins to appear lighter, and in some cases disappear from view completely.
