ABSTRACT
Sclerotherapy is the treatment of choice for telangiectasias and reticular veins. The most common side effects of this procedure are hyperpigmentation and matting, which are feared owing to their aesthetic damage and difficulty of treatment. Combined treatments with laser and hypertonic glucose sclerotherapy have been described with excellent results, but limited to treatment of veins of ≤2 mm in diameter. Cryo laser after foam sclerotherapy is a procedure to treat reticular veins in the lower extremities that utilizes first foam sclerotherapy with polidocanol than immediately followed by transdermal NdYAG 1064 laser treatment and we can treat veins ≤5 mm. This report presents a successful case of varicose vein treatment using combined transdermal laser and sclerotherapy with foam sclerotherapy with polidocanol to treat veins >2.5 mm in diameter.
