Ultrasound Guided Sclerotherapy

Ultrasound Guided Foam Sclerotherapy or “UG sclero”

A safe, FDA-approved, “foamed” solution is administered into the abnormal veins with a tiny needle, while Dr. Buscaglia or Dr. Brauer visually monitors the treatment on an ultrasound screen. This enables treatment of veins that can’t be seen because they are below the surface of the skin and would otherwise require surgical removal. The foamed medication then works to seal these abnormal veins shut. This new technology has made the treatment of venous insufficiency safer, faster, more specific, more tolerable, and more effective. With all three of these treatments, patients typically
go back to normal life one day after treatment. As well, once patients meet insurance criteria, the treatment is a medically covered service.
