Varicose veins are distended veins, more or less tortuous, with a blood flow.

There is no reason to leave varicose veins get worse and this only to avoid undergoing surgery and its related constraints: general anaesthesia, hospitalization, and sick leave.

Using simultaneously 2 technologies allow you to smoothly get rid of varicose veins, even ones of large calibre, applying to the veins a technique well known as sclerosis (injection of sclerosing agent), technique initially used only for varicosities (telangiectasies).

These are known as:

• Ultrasound guidance: which allows you to identify the source of the blood flow and to make the injection at that strategic point.
• Sclerosing microfoam:  reinforces the efficacy of the sclerosing agent, which is injected by using ultrasound guidance, thanks to the optimum filling of the varicose veins using micro-bubbles.

A non invasive treatment, efficient on a long term basis, which doesn't involve any immobilization.

• Simplicity: it can be done :

• In a medical practice,
• in about 1 hour,
• using a pulsed echodoppler,
• using an echoguided injection of sclerosing micro foam  with a syringe or a catheter, depending on the size of the varicose vein,

• Efficacy:

• Varicose veins are neutralized and retract,
• Relief occurs quickly: sensation of heaviness, pain, erythema, itching, eczema, oedema and healing of varicose ulcers disappear.

• Durability:

• Looking retrospectively on 10 years of practise with this technique shows that the results obtained last on a long term basis.

• Absence of significant side effects:

• The sclerosing products used, have been known for a long time, they are well tolerated and even more when used as foam.
• There are no drawbacks such as the ones encountered when removing surgically a varicose vein (no scars or injuries made to the nerve endings or capillaries.)

• No immobilization for the patient:

• The patient leaves with an elastic bandage that has to be kept on for five days.
• The patient can leave immediately and walk without assistance.

Follow up visits are programmed at day+7, day+30, 6 months, 1 year.

To conclude: this new care technique meets the expectations that patients are currently waiting for:

• Surgery is no longer necessary thanks to advances in technology.
• There is no interruption of personal and professional activities.
