Foam sclerotherapy can be used in conjunction with EVLA as part of your treatment plan, or in isolation. It offers an alternative way of targeting veins and closing them down. The foam solution has the consistency of shaving foam, which improves treatment by displacing blood within the vein. This permits the full strength of the sclerosing agent to be in direct contact with the vein wall for an extended period of time without any dilution effects.
The foam is visible on ultrasound imaging and can be easily tracked and guided to the source of the venous problem. Foam sclerotherapy is performed under direct ultrasound control to ensure safe and effective results with minimal complications.
