Foam Sclerotherapy for Varicose Veins in Kharkiv — Modern Non-Surgical Treatment
Foam Sclerotherapy (Foam-Form) is a state-of-the-art minimally invasive method for treating medium and large-caliber varicose veins without surgical intervention. At the Brigid Medical Center in Kharkiv, the procedure is performed by injecting a microfoam sclerosant directly into the affected vein under continuous ultrasound guidance. The foam displaces blood and causes the vessel walls to bond together, after which the vein is gradually absorbed by the body. Blood flow is redirected through healthy veins, restoring normal circulation and eliminating swelling.
Advantages of Foam Sclerotherapy at Brigid Center
Foam Technology
Microfoam ensures maximum contact of the drug with the vein walls, guaranteeing reliable closure of large vessels.
No Incisions or Anesthesia
The procedure is performed via micro-injections (fine needles) without surgical incisions or general anesthesia.
Echo-Sclerotherapy
Real-time ultrasound monitoring ensures precise delivery of the sclerosant exactly into the pathological area of the vessel.
Outpatient Format
No hospitalization required — the patient returns to their daily routine immediately after the session.
High Efficiency
The success rate for closing varicose veins reaches 95%, making this method ideal even for tortuous vessels.
Quick Recovery
Minimal post-procedure restrictions: you can maintain your usual lifestyle without taking medical leave.
Who is Foam Sclerotherapy Recommended For?
Primary Indications for the Procedure:
- Medium and large-diameter varicose veins (from 3 to 8 mm).
- Tortuous veins and varicose nodes that are technically difficult to treat with laser.
- Venous insufficiency with reflux in the saphenous veins.
- Recurrent varicose veins after previous surgeries.
- Contraindications to general anesthesia or major surgery.
- A desire for aesthetic results without scars or stitches.
Diagnostics Before Treatment
Before starting therapy, a consultation with a phlebologist and a duplex ultrasound scan are mandatory. This allows for an accurate assessment of the vascular anatomy and the selection of the optimal drug concentration for the best result.
How is a Foam Sclerotherapy Session Performed?
The procedure at our center takes 30–45 minutes and is designed for maximum comfort:
- Preparation: Antiseptic treatment of the injection site.
- Foam Creation: Using a specialized system, the doctor prepares a fine-dispersed microfoam.
- Ultrasound-Guided Injection: The drug is introduced into the vein lumen under visual control.
- Bonding: The foam instantly displaces blood, filling the entire volume of the pathological vessel.
- Compression: A compression stocking is placed on the leg to secure the results.
- Rehabilitation: The patient takes a steady walk for 30–40 minutes.
Post-Procedure Recommendations
- Compression: Continuous wearing of compression garments (usually for 3 to 7 days, then as scheduled).
- Movement: Daily walks for at least 60 minutes.
- Restrictions: Avoid hot procedures (saunas, hot baths) and intense sports for 14 days.
