It is common to receive many patients with severely dilated varicose veins. Many of these patients report having previously received sclerotherapy treatment at other medical centers.

That’s why it is very important to understand that sclerotherapy […]
We are currently performing aesthetic treatment for spider veins (also known as telangiectasias or reticular veins). For this, we rely on the most advanced technology, essential for achieving optimal results. The treatment we apply is the CLaCS technique, which combines transdermal laser therapy with cryo-sclerotherapy. This technique is far more advanced than traditional sclerotherapy, offering fewer complications, better cosmetic outcomes, […]

No. Varicose veins are not a condition exclusive to women. While it’s true that women are more frequently affected by this venous disease, this is mainly due to factors such as genetics, hormonal changes, and pregnancy, which contribute to vein dilation and weakening of the vein walls. However, men are not risk-free. Venous insufficiency is a condition that can affect […]
Today, Dr. Paulo Huachalla, a Cardiovascular Surgeon and varicose vein specialist, examines the case of a patient presenting with an incompetent perforator vein.
