Before & After Even severe varicosities can be successfully treated using ultrasound-guided sclerotherapy. 65-year-old woman with 8 year history of venous ulcers healed rapidly with ultrasound- guided sclerotherapy to ablate her varicose veins, the cause of her ulcers. A 75-year-old woman developed leg rashes  that she believed were caused by her  varicose veins. She had undergone stipping  surgery years early, but noted the veins had  returned. Sclerotherapy obliterated her  varicose veins, and the "rashes" (stasis  dermatitis) cleared.  Click on photo to enlarge  A 62-year-old Registered Nurse with venous stasis ulcer of the right ankle was treated  for 15 months with Unna's Boot compression. The ulcer finally healed, only to re- appear 3 months later. We treated her varicose veins with ultrasound-guided sclerotherapy and the ulcer healed within days. There has been no recurrence since 2002.
