5. How do you Prepare for Sclerotherapy
If it is determined that you are a good candidate for this procedure, the preparation for it will begin. A person who is going to undergo sclerotherapy will need to have a special ultrasound done in order to determine the exact area of the venous disease before the treatment begins.
If there is only a small area of spider veins, this may not be done. The ultrasound will also determine what the best course of action will be in regards to dealing with your spider veins.
When going in for the ultrasound a patient will need to be prepared to lay with their legs elevated in order to get the best pictures of the area where the venous disease is. Once this is determined, the procedure can be scheduled. Before the procedure is completed your doctor will provide you with a list of things to do before your scheduled appointment.
