The work of Cabrera [12] and Monfreaux [13] in utilising foam sclerotherapy along with Tessari's "3-way tap method" of foam production [14] further revolutionised the treatment of larger varicose veins with sclerotherapy. This has now been further modified by Whiteley and Patel [15] to use 3 non-silicone syringes for more long lasting foam.

It is commonly used in the treatment of varicose and spider veins of the leg, during the procedure of sclerotherapy. [2] Being a detergent, its action is on the lipid molecules in the cells of the vein wall, causing inflammatory destruction of the internal lining of the vein and thrombus formation eventually leading to sclerosis of the vein. It ...
Sclerotherapy is often used for telangiectasias (spider veins) and varicose veins that persist or recur after vein stripping. [43] [44] Sclerotherapy can also be performed using foamed sclerosants under ultrasound guidance to treat larger varicose veins, including the great saphenous and small saphenous veins. [45] [46]

CLaCS (Cryo-Laser and Cryo-Sclerotherapy) is a treatment for leg vein lesions by combining transdermal laser effect and injection sclerotherapy, all under skin cooling (Cryo - cold air blown onto the skin at -20C). [1] [2] [3] The laser causes a selective photothermolysis damaging the vein wall. The vein's lumen gets smaller.
Such treatment may allow normal blood flow to resume. It is a non-surgical medical procedure and is not nearly as invasive as debulking. Ultrasound guided foam sclerotherapy is the state of the art new treatment which could potentially close many large vascular malformations. [16] [17] Compression therapies are finding more use as of the last ...
