How does ultrasound-guided sclerotherapy work?

Ultrasound-guided sclerotherapy (UGS) is a minimally invasive outpatient procedure used to treat varicose veins and tributary veins. UGS uses ultrasound imaging to guide the injection of medication directly into the vein. This helps to ensure that the medication is delivered to the precise location, which maximizes its effectiveness.

The medication works by damaging the walls of the vein, which causes the vein to collapse and eventually disappear. UGS is a safe and effective way to improve the appearance of tributary veins and varicose veins with minimal discomfort and downtime.
