How successful is sclerotherapy?

Before you agree to injections, you want a number, not a promise. Readers in Mokena and New Lenox ask how often sclerotherapy actually works.

What one source reports

my.clevelandclinic.org says: Sclerotherapy works well on smaller varicose veins. A session may get rid of an estimated 50% to 80% of injected veins.

Two limits sit inside that wording. It speaks of smaller varicose veins, and it gives an estimate, not a guarantee.

Pages behind the vein conditions

For background on the conditions involved, see the venous disease overview, the page on varicose veins and the page on spider veins.

The three pages are open to readers in Mokena and New Lenox alike.

The question worth asking first

Ask whether your veins count as small ones and what result to expect from them. If the answer is a promise instead of a range, ask again.
