Removing varicose veins - surgery - sclerotherapy
Removing varicose veins - surgery - which method is the right one?
People are confronted with new methods every day through the media - actually through advertising by the medical technology industry. In the end, most people no longer know what might be helpful for them.
At our Venesthetic® Vein Center in Innsbruck, Tyrol, we have made it our mission to answer these questions for our patients. It is not, as many people think, the latest method that brings ground-breaking success, but rather the one of the many methods that is just right for one patient to remove the varicose veins.
Varicose vein surgery
is still the method of choice if the caliber and extent of the tortuous and dilated veins exceeds a certain level. Various techniques are available here, which are ideally used on an individual basis.
Sclerosing varicose veins (sclerotherapy)
is our standard follow-up treatment and the method of choice for spider veins and reticular varicosis. This produces lasting, flawless results. Spider vein lasering is still not significantly successful, not least because the spider veins have connections to larger vessels in the depth of the subcutaneous fatty tissue, which must also be sclerosed - the laser light is no longer effective there.

I have read about sclerotherapy and am interested in it - can you inform me about it? "I have two large varicose veins on one leg and a few/many spider veins - can you tell me more? That would be great. Thanks in advance and regards Sabine Petrasch
