NWR : Sclerotherapy

I was wondering has anyone had this done? I have a few veins on my thigh that I want to get rid of for my honeymoon - so I was thinking of doing this before the wedding..but I don't know where to begin.. has anyone used someone for this that they can recommend?

I had this done a few years ago for varicose veins after having two operations. It is kind of painful, and you bruise where the injection is. It takes some time for the bruising to go away. My doctor retired, so I can't really recommend anyone!.

FM me if you want details.

Hey date twin.

I am at the beginning stages of getting vericose vains in my right leg. I have had consultations & found that it's very very costly & my insurance won't cover it. I am also told they will come back when I am pregant so going to wait a few years.

My mom had them stripped years ago & they came back. I am told it won't be permant.

Hi!
Insurance companies may not cover because they think it's strictly cosmetic. Mine was not, you could hardly see them, but it was very itchy and painful. I had my first surgery for it when I was like 15! It was a horrible experience! Now they do it with a laser, and you can walk out of the office that day!
