Learn More About Vein Injections Memphis TN

By Frank Butler


Essentially, varicose vein refers to a condition which affects veins around the legs making them to bulge, twist or to be widened. This condition remains popular with most individuals and causes no medical complications to most people. The veins around the legs contain valves that allow one direction of flow of blood and that is only towards heart. Nevertheless, when these valves fail, blood will usually flow backward and cause the varicose veins. Nevertheless, the condition may be cured through vein injections Memphis TN.

Normally, spider and varicose veins are effectively handled via sclerotherapy which is deemed as an ideal therapy for tinny varicose veins. Sclerotherapy normally entails injecting some solution to the veins. Once this solution is infused, it usually scars the veins hence forcing blood flow through healthier veins. Veins that collapse usually become reabsorbed and ultimately fade.

Before having the injection, you need to consult a vascular medicine specialist or a dermatologist who would recommend if you are an ideal candidate for the treatment. For instance, you cannot undergo the treatment if you are pregnant. At the same time, if you have a history of blood clot, the decision to have the procedure will be based on an individual basis and often depends on the general health of the area of treatment as well as why the clot had formed.

Sclerotherapy treatment basically entails injection of a salt solution using fine needles directly in the veins. When performed on larger veins, the patient may experience some discomfort and cramping for a short while. Sclerotherapy goes for about 15-30 minutes and depending on the location of the vein, size and the overall health of a patient the doctor is able to determine the number of the veins to get the injection in a single session. It is carried out in the office of a dermatologist or a surgeon. The patient should not engage in aerobic activities for a number of days after receiving the treatment.

In Memphis TN, sclerotherapy is usually done for cosmetic reasons to improve the appearance of spider and varicose veins. However, the procedure can be done in order to improve other related symptoms such as swelling, burning, aching, and night cramps.

Nevertheless, sclerotherapy has some side effects. For instance, the patient may experience some mild effects such as itching that may last a few days. At the same time, you may experience red and raised areas at the area where the injection was done but should disappear after a few days.

Neo vascularization too is a side effect of sclerotherapy which entails occurrence of tiny blood vessels around where the treatment was done. These tiny veins tend to appear or manifest days or even weeks after the treatment but may fade away in a duration of 3 to 12 months even without treatment.

Such side effects are such as inflammation that forms within five inches of your groin, or development of a sudden swollen leg.
