Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • photographic evaluation of the presence or absence of skin hyperpigmentation after foam sclerotherapy

    To evaluate the impact of Pycnogenol (Flebon®) use on skin hyperpigmentation after sclerotherapy procedure in relation to placebo group, according to the presence or absence of hyperpigmentation.Hyperpigmentation will be assessed through standardized photographs taken by the study researchers and evaluated by a blinded dermatologist in the study. The answer will be dichotomous, yes or no.

    90 days

Secondary Outcomes (5)

  • The use of Pycnogenol (Flebon®) triggers change cutaneous pigmentation;

    90 days

  • The use of Pycnogenol (Flebon®) triggers a change skin pigmentation.

    90 days

  • The use of Pycnogenol (Flebon®) change the signs and symptoms of chronic venous insufficiency by applying a CVI-specific quality of life questionnaire.

    90 days

  • the degree of patient satisfaction with the use of Pycnogenol (Flebon®) regarding the skin aspect of the region submitted to the procedure;

    90 days

  • pycnogenol side effects
