Patient Reviews
Let's study the responses of patients who have gone through phlebosclerosis.
From childhood I suffer from varicose veins. Every year it becomes more and more large-scale. And in the last few years, I started to have pain in the evenings and severe fatigue. Then the husband advised to be treated.
But as it turned out the only option, for me, was surgery. Operations I was very afraid, therefore I found a minimally invasive method - phlebosclerosis. Everything went smoothly. The result is satisfied.
