Ultrasound-Guided Sclerotherapy
At VCU Vein Care, we use ultrasound-guided sclerotherapy to treat large networks of veins just below the surface of the skin. During this procedure, a small needle is advanced into the vein under ultrasound guidance. Then a foam solution is injected to destroy the vein.
Multiple ultrasound treatments are often required before all of the veins are totally destroyed.

Insurance
Treatment of symptomatic varicose veins is typically covered by most insurers. Please contact your insurance company to determine your coverage. Treatment for spider veins is considered a cosmetic procedure by insurance companies; therefore, it is not covered by insurance.
Once our doctors have had the opportunity to examine your veins, they can tell you what they would expect the cost of treatment to be.
