Protocol of action in Vascular Laser Treatment and Chemical Sclerosis
The treatment of vascular pathology is one of the most requested treatments by patients in the Aesthetic Medicine practice, so every doctor in training who is doing the Master of Aesthetic Medicine should have at hand a summary of the different techniques of approach to this type of vascular pathologies.
This Protocol of action in vascular laser treatment and chemical sclerosis gives us all the basic and necessary information that we must have on hand in the office because being a small physical format is very easy to carry in the pocket of the gown to consult at any time, but you can also purchase it in digital format to carry it always with you in the different technological devices.
We must remember that venous diseases constitute a medical and social problem of extreme importance, due to the large number of people affected and the many days of work lost as a result of temporary disability. The costs are high in terms of hospital admissions and treatment.
It has been estimated that 35% of the working population and more than 50% of the retired population in Europe suffer from venous disease (Journal International of Medicine). About 1% of men and 4.5% of women have venous disorders of the lower extremities. In addition, various surveys also reveal that such disorders are significantly lower in developing countries, an observation that leads us to consider the close relationship between lifestyle and venous disease.
The objective of the protocol for vascular laser treatment and chemical sclerosis is to establish the guidelines for medical action in relation to the application of the treatment described and to determine the diagnosis, treatment, indications and contraindications, material to be used, aftercare and complications that may arise.

9. Bibliography
It is very important to recognize and keep in mind that in Aesthetic Medicine we can treat certain vascular characteristics, but that there are others that it is better to refer them to the vascular surgeon so that he/she can treat them, that is, I always advise us to have limits and recognize what we can treat and what we cannot.
