Varicose Veins
Foam Sclerotherapy
Foam sclerotherapy involves injecting a foamed sclerosant agent directly into the affected veins under ultrasound guidance. The foam displaces blood and damages the vein lining, causing it to close permanently. This technique is particularly effective for recurrent varicose veins and reticular veins. This procedure is available at Dr. Adarsh's clinic in Indiranagar, Bangalore.
About Foam Sclerotherapy
Foam sclerotherapy involves injecting a foam sclerosant (usually sodium tetradecyl sulfate or polidocanol) into varicose veins under ultrasound guidance. The foam displaces blood and causes inflammation of the vein wall, leading to fibrosis and closure. Dr. Adarsh uses this technique for reticular veins, branch varicosities, and as an adjunct to endovenous procedures.
