Sclerotherapy is the treatment of choice for telangiectasias and reticular veins of the legs. The technique has undergone significant advancements in the development of foamed solutions to improve its efficacy and side-effect profile. It provides a rapid, effective, and safe treatment alternative that is particularly attractive for patients with extensive networks of small abnormal veins.
