Over time, the treated vein gradually shrinks and eventually disappears. This vein treatment method is primarily used to treat spider veins and varicose veins, but in certain cases, it can also be applied to the treatment of hemorrhoids. The procedure is recommended if you notice small spider vein networks on your legs, or experience symptoms such as a feeling of heaviness, swelling, itching, burning, or night-time cramps in the legs. Sclerotherapy is a relatively quick procedure, typically lasting around 15 to 30 minutes. The procedure is not painful; during it, you may feel a slight pulling sensation, which can cause mild discomfort. In milder cases, such as when the patient has only aesthetic concerns, a single procedure may be sufficient. However, in some instances, treatment may need to be carried out in multiple stages. After the procedure, patients are advised to walk or swim to promote venous blood flow.
Main advantages of foam sclerotherapy
Foam sclerotherapy is a relatively quick, effective, and affordable procedure that is minimally invasive. This procedure does not leave scars, making it a suitable solution even for sensitive areas of the body. The procedure is safe for people with chronic conditions, as it carries a low risk of complications and does not require a lengthy recovery period. Thanks to modern technology, it is possible to treat even complex or advanced vein issues, achieving excellent cosmetic results—veins become nearly invisible. Sclerotherapy not only improves the appearance of the legs but also reduces discomfort, pain, and swelling, providing long-lasting effects and significantly enhancing patients’ quality of life.
How much does foam sclerotherapy cost?
One of the most frequently asked questions among patients is —how much does a sclerotherapy procedure cost? Since each patient’s vein condition is unique, an initial consultation with a phlebologist and vein diagnostics arerequired. At Dr. Maurins Clinic, the initial phlebologist consultation combined with duplex ultrasound examination of both legs costs from 60 EUR. After the examination, the doctor will create an individualized treatment plan and determine the required number of procedures. The price for a single foam sclerotherapy procedure (both aesthetic with Vein Viewer/Syris guidance and foam sclerotherapy under duplex ultrasound control) is from 130 EUR. Additionally, you should expect costs for medical materials, which are usually an extra 15–20 EUR. The exact number of procedures needed will be determined by the phlebologist based on diagnostic results and the condition of the veins. This ensures both effective treatment and optimal costs for each patient.
