Long-term follow-up of sclerotherapy of telangiectasias and reticular veins in lower limbs: Glucose versus polidocanol diluted in glucose

Telangiectasia recurrence was common after 3 years, regardless of treatment. In contrast, reticular veins showed minimal recurrence, particularly with PDHG. Pigmentation generally resolved spontaneously. Matting was more persistent in telangiectasias than in reticular veins. These findings support the long-term viability of both approaches in clinical practice.
