Medical Conditions - Sclerotherapy

Sclerotherapy is a procedure of injecting a sclerotherapy solution into the vein to form scars on the blood vessels, resulting from which the blood is forced into healthier blood vessels. It is mainly done for cosmetic reasons, but it can also relieve symptoms like night cramps, swelling, pain, and burning sensation. Complications of surgery include bruises, multiple small blood vessels, inflammation, allergic reaction, blood clot, and air bubbles.
