Haroun Gajraj: Upto 30% of Patients Develop Brown Marks After Microsclerotherapy
Haroun Gajraj, Phlebologist and Board Member of the British Association of Sclerotherapists, shared a post on LinkedIn:
“Upto 30% of Patients Develop Brown Marks After Microsclerotherapy
That’s not a rare complication.
That’s one in three.
In fact if it occurs in 30% is it really a complication?
Is it a side effect?
Is it an expectation?
For a procedure patients choose to improve their appearance, post-sclerotherapy hyperpigmentation can be more distressing than the original spider veins – and more damaging to your patient relationship.
But can it be mitigated by the consultation process?
The question isn’t whether it happens in your practice.
It’s whether you know WHY it happens – and What to do about it.”
