Sclerotherapy of varicose veins is available at Istanbul Florence Nightingale Hospital in Turkey. The procedure typically costs around $1,440 USD and is performed by Dr. Mehmet Ezelsoy, a vascular surgeon with 14 years of experience and over 1,100 procedures completed. The hospital is JCI-accredited, ensuring high international standards.
Foam sclerotherapy is a minimally invasive treatment for varicose veins. It involves injecting a special foam solution into the affected veins. This causes them to collapse and fade over time. The procedure is recommended for cases without internal varicose veins.
The procedure is performed as a day treatment with no hospital stay required. Before treatment, patients undergo a bilateral lower extremity venous Doppler ultrasound. This helps determine if they are suitable candidates for the procedure. If no internal varicose veins are found, treatment can often be completed the same day.
The package includes:
Patients experience minimal downtime and can walk immediately after the procedure. A follow-up appointment is recommended to monitor results based on Doppler findings. The technique offers quick recovery, with most patients resuming normal activities shortly after treatment.
Dr. Ezelsoy brings extensive experience specifically in varicose vein treatments. The hospital combines medical expertise with international accreditation for safety standards. Patients benefit from transparent pricing that covers diagnostics, treatment, and transportation.
