Why duplex mapping matters before treatment
Visible veins can come from different reflux patterns. Duplex mapping helps identify which veins are leaking, whether deep veins are open, and whether sclerotherapy, referral, or another treatment pathway may be appropriate.
Spider veins and sclerotherapy expectations
Sclerotherapy can be considered for spider veins and selected small superficial veins after assessment. Large bulging varicose veins often need duplex mapping first and may require a different plan.
