Foam Sclerotherapy mit oder ohne Transdermalen Laser für Reticular Veins und Telangiectasias

Kurzzusammenfassung

This prospective, randomized, controlled, intraindividual split-leg clinical trial will compare isolated polidocanol foam sclerotherapy with the Cryo-Laser After Foam (CLaF) technique for the treatment of reticular veins and telangiectasias of the lower limbs. The study will include 70 women aged 18 to 60 years with bilateral CEAP C1 telangiectasias and/or reticular veins. Each participant will receive CLaF in one lower limb and isolated foam sclerotherapy in the contralateral limb, with treatment laterality determined by randomization. The CLaF technique consists of polidocanol foam sclerotherapy followed immediately by transdermal 1064-nm Nd:YAG laser under continuous cold-air cooling. The study will evaluate vascular clearance, residual vascular area, hyperpigmentation, retained thrombi and need for drainage, pain, adverse events, aesthetic improvement, patient satisfaction, and quality of life during follow-up through 180 days.
