Astra Vein Treatment Center

Varicose veins usually appear as unsightly, twisting, purple ropes on your legs. While they aren’t always painful, they usually cause embarrassment. But you no longer have to guess how to get rid of your varicose veins. There’s a minimally invasive cosmetic procedure that destroys these veins from within. Dr. George Bolotin of the Astra Vein Treatment Center in Brooklyn and Bronx specializes in treating varicose and spider veins. Call for an initial consultation, so Dr. Bolotin can examine your problem veins. It’s the first step to determine if sclerotherapy for varicose veins is right for you.

Sclerotherapy is a minimally invasive procedure used to treat spider veins and small varicose veins. Neither type of vein condition represents a medical emergency, but both can cause discomfort and a dip in your self-esteem. Sclerotherapy is a minimally invasive procedure to remove problem varicose veins without surgery, although the procedure for sclerotherapy for spider veins is similar.

During the procedure, a top Interventional Radiologist who specializes in vascular conditions in Brooklyn, NY and Bronx, NY, such as Dr. George Bolotin, uses a tiny needle to inject a solution into your varicose veins. The solution causes the veins to collapse in on themselves. Then your body absorbs the vein tissue, causing them to disappear.

Considered very safe, this procedure has been in use since the 1930s. Dr. Bolotin, who works out of the Astra Vein Treatment Center in Brooklyn and Bronx, knows how to get rid of varicose veins. He first visually assesses your veins and determines if sclerotherapy is the right treatment for you. Today, there are three kinds of sclerotherapy in use, including:

Traditional injection sclerotherapy for varicose veins
Foam sclerotherapy
Ultrasound-guided sclerotherapy

Why Do I Need Sclerotherapy?

Varicose veins are often twisted and rope-like in appearance. They’re usually blue or purple and appear most often on your legs. These veins are highly visible, and the longer they go untreated, the more prominent they become. If you have varicose veins, you probably take pains to cover them up in public.

Sclerotherapy clears up varicose veins that bulge and push out against your skin. While the procedure is considered primarily a cosmetic procedure, it sometimes is performed because the varicose veins cause symptoms from which you want relief, such as:
