The USA Vein Clinics offers Ultrasound-Guided Sclerotherapy (USGS), a minimally invasive treatment for varicose veins and other symptoms of venous insufficiency. In this procedure, a trained vein specialist uses live ultrasound imaging to locate deeper or winding veins not visible on the skin’s surface and injects a sclerosant solution to collapse and seal them shut.
Once closed, the treated veins are naturally absorbed by the body while healthy veins restore blood flow. It is typically an outpatient treatment taking under 15 minutes, with minimal discomfort, no incisions or scarring, and patients can return to normal activities right away. Most major insurance plans (including Medicare/Medicaid) cover this medically necessary treatment.
