Sclerotherapy Injection

Yes, you read right! Today, I had round 2 of varicose vein "work" done. If you don't remember, last August/September I had laser therapy done on both legs to take care of some UGLY and PAINFUL varicose veins. Well, that worked great but I still had some smaller vericose veins (and spider veins) that I wanted to have removed. So, today I had sclerotherapy injections done. Before the doctor started, he used a "vein light" to identify all of the veins in my leg that I wanted injected. WOW! It's amazing what you could see. Basically, for 20 minutes the doctor injects this medicine into as many veins as he can. When he was finished, we looked at my legs again and already I could see some of the veins were gone. It will take a little longer for the larger veins. I have to wear support hose for the next 5 days and right now, I'm in bed with my legs propped up so the blood can "drain." If you live in the area and are looking for a great doctor, I go to Dr. Noel Parent; he's GREAT!
