Sclerotherapy

Sclerotherapy, an advanced treatment available from our plastic surgeons, Dr. Robert Taylor, Dr. Dominic Massary, and the skilled team at Taylor Plastic Surgery, is a medical procedure used to eliminate varicose veins and spider veins. Sclerotherapy involves an injection of a solution (generally a salt solution) directly into the vein. The solution irritates the lining of the blood vessel, causing it to collapse and stick together and the blood to clot. Over time, the vessel turns into scar tissue that fades from view.
