Sounds similar but is it the same as sclerotherapy?

I recently had ALTA ZIONE done in Japan for my 3rd degree internal hems.

When I'm not building customer success stories at the office, I'm probably at home nose deep into a book.

So far it seems it’s has worked. I had it done with 2 other minor external hems excised. I’m on day 16 PO and have almost no pain and has been manageable leading to this point.  Still waiting for drainage and mucus to subside which can take a while.
