Ultrasound guided sclerotherapy involves using an ultrasound machine to guide a thin needle into a vein. A medicine called polidocanol is then injected into the vein, causing the vein to
close down. Usually the polidocanol is injected as foam. The injection is painless.
Walking is encouraged immediately after the procedure, and routine daily activities can be resumed immediately. Strenuous activities can be resumed in 3-7 days. A compression stocking is worn for 2 -7 days, depending on the size of the vein treated.
