These videos are quite thought-provoking. It's important then, to inform these patients that venous disease treatment is damage control (besides the telangiectasia being treated for cosmetic purposes). Patients often ask if the veins wil return. I'm sad to tell them that it doesn't prevent varicose veins from returning, but keeping to the treatment plan (including follow up), keeps them away since what they have is an on-going chronic disease of the veins. And, I often keep hoping that they aren't disenchanted about treatment
Thank you @small-timegarden. That is a very, very good point to make and I agree. Venous disease is a chronic condition which needs to be managed rather than cured. You are right in pointing out that a treatment plan and follow up are crucial to success. I think patients value honesty. BTW are you a healthcare professional? The reason I ask is that your comment is very insightful!
Have you not heard of the Q switched laser for this hyperpigmentation? If this laser is used for tattoo removal and hyperpigmentation due to sun/aging, why would this not be a viable option for hyperpigmentation due to sclera-therapy?

Thank you for that suggestion. I will do some research. Do you have experience of using this treatment?
Extremely useful❤
Glad you think so! Thank you for your feedback.
Excelente análisis de las causas y manejo de la híper pigmentación. Muchas gracias desde Colombia. Cordial saludo.
Thank you @sabrinaracelly for your comment and appreciation. Cordial greetings to you from England.
May I ask you @sabrinaracelly "Do you advise your patients to avoid sun exposure after sclerotherapy?"

El sol parece aumentar la actividad de la tirosinasa. Sin embargo no parece influir en la pigmentación hemosiderínica.
I totally agree, thank you.
Do you still do consultations of any kind?
No. I now provide training and coaching for health professionals. Where do you live?
Nice information, doctor 👍
