Why Doctors and Nurses Should Invest in Sclerotherapy Training
Sclerotherapy is the cosmetic practice of removing unsightly spider veins using an injectable sclerosant that irritates the lining of the vein, causing it to close. It is a nonsurgical procedure that may take between 10 – 30 minutes, depending on how many spider veins the patient would like removed. Dermatologists and board certified plastic surgeons aren’t the only medical professionals who can perform this procedure. With proper training and practice, doctors and nurses can also perform scleortherapy.
Why Become Sclerotherapy Certified?
There are many patients who would prefer to visit their doctors for cosmetic treatments, even if they are noninvasive. There is a large amount of trust between a doctor and patient, and a patient may feel more at ease receiving treatment from a doctor or nurse. Also, because sclerotherapy treatments are used for cosmetic purposes, doctors and nurses don’t have to worry about the hassle of insurance. Typically, sclerotherapy treatments run between $350 – $450 per client.
Overall, the medical esthetics market is a billion dollar industry. Doctors and nurses alike have been becoming more interested in these technologically advanced treatments due to the rise in popularity. Each year, millions of Americans seek out anti aging and skin rejuvenation treatments like Botox, dermal fillers, laser hair removal, and more. In fact, there was more than $100,000,000 spent on sclerotherapy treatments in 2009 alone.
