Treat varicose veins, spider veins, and rosacea without surgery through sclerotherapy
During a sclerotherapy procedure, a solution is injected into a varicose vein, causing it to close off and shrink into a thin line below the skin’s surface. Blood then reroutes through normal veins. This process gradually eliminates larger varicose veins within one to three months, and smaller burst veins or rosacea within one to two weeks.
For medium-sized varicose veins and spider veins, a simple saline solution injection is often sufficient. This mild solution may cause a harmless inflammatory response, which causes the medium-sized varicose veins or spider veins to disappear. Reticular veins (medium-sized veins) and injections for spider veins are usually treated after larger varicose veins.
Almost all varicose veins can be treated with sclerotherapy. The larger, deeper varicose veins are injected before the smaller burst veins.
Sclerotherapy can also be used to treat rosacea.
The Medicart clinics offer treatments for varicose veins, including ultrasound-guided sclerotherapy, endovenous laser treatment and the VenaSealMD procedure.

How does sclerotherapy work?
Sclerotherapy feels a lot like a mosquito bite. The treatment site may be a little sensitive for a day or two and you may seen some bruising. Injections around the knees and ankles may cause slight swelling that will go down within a few days.
The pain in your legs and their general appearance will improve after three or four sclerotherapy sessions. The varicose veins that were treated will disappear, but the hereditary tendency to develop varicose veins remains. Yearly follow-ups to treat any new varicose veins will ensure the comfort and better appearance of your legs.
Sclerotherapy treatment requires no recovery time.

Client benefit
I hate needles, but Dr. Dominic St-Amour is patient and experienced. He pricked my varicose veins with great gentleness and I didn't suffer. When an appointment involves about thirty injections, it makes a real difference! After the treatment, my varicose veins disappeared, and the sensation of heavy legs as well. I am very satisfied with the result for my health... and for my self-esteem!
