Summary
This study tests whether adding epinephrine to a glycerin and lidocaine mixture improves the treatment of small leg veins (telangiectasias). Twenty adults will have one leg treated with the standard mixture and the other with the mixture plus epinephrine. Doctors will rate vein clearance, and patients will report pain and satisfaction.

glycerin with lidocaine and epinephrine
What this could lead to
If successful, this could show that adding epinephrine improves vein clearance or reduces pain during sclerotherapy.
What could go wrong
