Frequently asked questions

I am unable to wear a dress because I have a blue webbing on my legs. Is it hard to get rid of it?

I would say it is not. It is not painful or very expensive, however, I want to point out that it requires cooperation of the patient in the treatment process. You must have heard of the sclerotherapy method, during which special foam is injected in the blood vessel to press the vessel walls togetger, letting them to grow together and scar tissue to form. In this way these damaged and bad looking veins are closed. Blood pigment can be seen on the skin for a while as a dark streak, it fades eventually. After the injections it is advised to wear compression socks, also it is good to be physically active, which improves microcirculation in the tissue – then the pigment fades faster. Swimming is very suitable, especially swimming with webfeet, it makes all the muscles work intensly, also distance skiing.

If sclerptherapy is such an easy procedure, is diagnostics mandatory?

The doctor should be aware of the blood flow in the deep and superficial veins, which is why we examine with the duplex ultrasound method. We need to evaluate the centrail veins, because it is very important for the doctor to advise the patient a therapy, that will prevent chronic venosal incompetence. In the case of stem vein problems, which has not developed yet, we talk trough all the preventing actions, so it would not develop furhet and only after this we consider the cosmetic aspects.
