Sclerotherapy is a method of vein closure with the use of a chemical sclerosant. The procedure is almost painless – anesthesia is usually not needed at all.
Depending on the size of the vessel, several sclerotherapy techniques are used:
Before sclerotherapy, a duplex Doppler ultrasound of the lower limbs must be performed to qualify the patient. The indications for the procedure are varicose veins and spider veins. The procedure is virtually painless and does not require anesthesia.
Through puncture of the vessel malformations, a solution is inserted into the veins, which irritates the vascular endothelium causing the vessel to collapse and stick together. The most common sclerosant is polidocanol – a detergent that can be used as a liquid or foam. The medication is available in different concentrations, which are used depending on the diameter and the thickness of the wall of the vessel. After injecting the vessel, pressure is applied locally and, in some cases,, a temporary lift of the limb.
Already the next day the patients are able to return do moderate physical activity (walks, climbing the stairs, work which does not require intense effort). Return to exercise is possible after 1-2 weeks.

Book appointmentLaser removal of varicose veins is a minimally invasive method of treating superficial vein insufficiency (i.e., varicose veins). The procedure involves closing ineffective venous trunks with thermal energy generated by a laser. The optical fiber of the laser device is inserted into the vein through a skin puncture. The procedure is conducted under local anesthesia and the patient can return home immediately after the procedure.

Vasculaze and Lumecca lasers are used for coagulation and closure of mild vascular lesions. During the procedure, a specially designed instrument head sends light impulses causing the blood vessels to disappear. Several procedures are necessary to achieve the desirable effect and the improvement in the treatment area is gradual.

VeinOff is a method of gluing the veins with the use of a therapeutic agent – a tissue adhesive. During the procedure, a therapeutic agent is injected into the vessel. After the administration of a small amount of adhesive, the surgeon applies pressure to the injection site for about 2–3 minutes. The adhesion initiates local inflammation, which in a few weeks leads to fibrosis and complete closure of the dysfunctional vein. The procedure takes a few up to a dozen minutes and is performed during EVLT or sclerotherapy.

One of the most common vein diseases is called Chronic Venous Disease (CVD). Despite many studies, some aspects have still not been fully explained, and unfortunately, the knowledge of CVD disease is full of unreal information. Reasons as delaying treatment, unproven methods or incorrect recommendations are sadly leading to serious complications. With careful treatment however, […]

Varicose veins are a symptom of venous insufficiency. They are most often caused by insufficient valves in the main trunks of the superficial veins – in the great and small saphenous veins. Venous insufficiency is usually genetic. Incorrect structure of the vessel walls causes a loss of elasticity and a tendency to stretch them. The […]
Is summertime really suitable for laser treatment of varicose veins? Isn’t it better to wait for cooler autumn days? These are the most frequently asked questions. At the root of these questions is the fear of complications and unwillingness to wear compression stockings in hot weather. Dr. Norbert Zapotoczny is a specialist in vascular surgery […]
Chronic venous insufficiency is a disease that is caused by impeding blood flow from the venous system. It may be caused by impaired valve function in either superficial veins (varicose vein disease) or deep veins (venous thrombosis). Venous insufficiency is caused by stagnation of blood in the venous system, which increases the blood pressure in […]
