Sclerotherapy

We provide safe and effective treatment to get rid of spider veins.

What is Sclerotherapy?

Sclerotherapy is a minimally invasive medical procedure used to treat spider veins and smaller varicose veins. It involves injecting a solution directly into the affected veins, causing them to collapse and fade away over time. The solution irritates the lining of the veins, causing them to seal shut and redirect blood flow to healthier veins. This results in improved blood circulation and a reduction in the appearance of spider veins.

The Procedure

Sclerotherapy is an outpatient procedure that typically takes less than an hour to complete. Prior to the procedure, you will have a consultation with a qualified healthcare provider to discuss your medical history and any concerns you may have. During the procedure, the healthcare provider will use a fine needle to inject the solution into the affected veins. You may experience a mild burning or stinging sensation during the injection, but this discomfort usually lasts only a few seconds.

After the injection, you may be asked to wear compression stockings to help with healing and to reduce swelling. You will also be advised to avoid strenuous exercise and hot baths for a few days after the procedure. Most people are able to return to normal activities immediately after the procedure.

Results

You may begin to notice a reduction in the appearance of spider veins within a few weeks of the procedure, but it can take several months to see the full results. In some cases, multiple sessions may be required to achieve the desired results. Sclerotherapy is generally considered safe and effective, with few side effects. However, as with any medical procedure, there is a small risk of complications such as infection, allergic reaction, or blood clots.
