Ultrasound guided sclerotherapy is a highly advanced solution for efficient vein removal. At Advanced Vascular, we use it for venous disease treatment, spider vein removal, and varicose vein removal. Our commitment is to relieve your vein problems in the most effective and minimally invasive way possible.
Ultrasound guided sclerotherapy uses a sclerotherapy procedure, in which your Advanced Vascular provider injects a sclerosing agent carried in a foam suspension into your vein using ultrasound guidance.
This mixture effectively damages the inner vein lining to seal it off, causing it to disappear. Call the office to schedule your consultation today.
Guided by ultrasound, start to finish.
Dr. Banerjee determines the ideal injection location with ultrasound guidance, inserts a small needle in your varicosed vein, and then the sclerosing agent foam mixture is injected. Your leg may be elevated to produce optimal effects.
After your procedure, which usually takes only 20 to 30 minutes, your leg will be wrapped in bandages, and you will receive specific discharge instructions before you leave the office.
Most patients walk in and walk out the same day. The team will walk you through everything to expect before, during, and after.
Who this treatment can help.
Ultrasound guided sclerotherapy may be right for you if you have chronic venous disease or varicose veins. It is especially effective for smaller veins, and the vein specialists at Advanced Vascular often combine it with other treatments for larger varicose veins, ulcer healing, and more.

- Varicose veins, including smaller branches

Ultrasound finds it. Foam closes it.
-
01
Ultrasound maps the vein
Dr. Banerjee uses ultrasound imaging to locate the diseased vein and determine the ideal injection point.
-
02
Foam injected with guidance
A small needle is inserted in the varicosed vein. The sclerosing agent foam is delivered under real time ultrasound guidance.
-
03
Vein lining seals shut
The foam damages the inner lining of the vein, sealing it off. Blood reroutes through healthier veins nearby.
-
04
Vein fades over time
The treated vein is gradually absorbed by the body, helping reduce symptoms and improve appearance.
