AB Utilized  in  ancient  Greece  to  alleviate  painful  leg  varicosities,  sclerotherapy,  the  therapeutic  injection  of  sclerosant  into  veins,  has  been  successfully  practiced  for  thousands  of  years.  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.
