Sclerotherapy is a medical procedure used to treat incompetent perforator veins, which are abnormal veins that allow blood to flow in the wrong direction. This can cause swelling, pain, and skin changes in the lower legs.
During sclerotherapy, a solution is injected into the affected vein using a very fine needle. The solution causes the vein to collapse and seal shut, preventing blood from flowing through it. The procedure is typically performed in a clinic or doctor’s office and takes only a few minutes.
Sclerotherapy is considered a safe and effective treatment for incompetent perforator veins, and it can be used alone or in combination with other treatments such as compression stockings or endovenous thermal ablation.
It’s important to note that Sclerotherapy may have potential risks such as bleeding, infection, and allergic reactions. It is important to consult with a qualified healthcare professional to determine the best treatment option for your individual needs and goals. It’s also important to wear compression stockings for a period of time after the procedure to help prevent the formation of new varicose veins or recurrence.

Sclerotherapy for incompetent perforator veins in Surat
Sclerotherapy for incompetent perforator veins in Surat at Elegance Clinic is a minimally invasive treatment that injects a solution into faulty perforator veins to close them, redirecting blood to healthy veins and easing varicose vein symptoms. Done by Dr. Ashutosh Shah's team, often ultrasound-guided, it has little downtime.
What are incompetent perforator veins?
Perforator veins connect the surface veins to the deep veins in the leg. When their valves fail, blood flows the wrong way and worsens varicose veins, swelling and skin changes.
Sclerotherapy injects a special solution, often as a foam guided by ultrasound, into the faulty perforator so it closes and is absorbed, letting blood reroute through healthy veins. At Elegance Clinic, Surat, it is part of comprehensive varicose vein care.

Perforator sclerotherapy FAQs
Is it painful?
Most people feel only a small pinch at the injection. It is done without major surgery and you can usually walk out afterwards.
How long is recovery?
Downtime is minimal. Compression is worn for a period and walking is encouraged; strenuous activity is limited briefly.
How many sessions are needed?
It depends on how many perforators are affected. Some need one session, others a few, confirmed by the vein scan.
Does it need ultrasound?
Perforator sclerotherapy is often ultrasound-guided so the solution is placed accurately into the faulty vein, improving safety and results.
Will varicose veins come back?
Treating the faulty perforators reduces recurrence, but new faulty veins can develop over time, so follow-up matters.
