Injection Sclerotherapy Fredericksburg

In this procedure smaller veins are treated with injection of a detergent sclerosant that causes damage to the lining of the vein which leads to obliteration of the vein. No anesthesia is required and very small needles are utilized. We use sodium tetradecyl sulfate and polidoconol as our sclerosant. They both have a long use history (>30 years) and an excellent safety history for vein treatment. Injection sclerotherapy is often considered cosmetic by insurance companies and therefore is not typically covered.
