Abstract

Sclerotherapy is enjoying great popularity as a technique to eliminate unsightly spider and varicose veins. This study of 200 charts reveals a high success rate and a low incidence of long-term adverse sequelae. To minimize complications, several suggestions are made based on clinical observations. As with any procedure, experience, meticulous technique, and good patient rapport are at the heart of its success.
