Sclerotherapy

Sclerotherapy is a well-established treatment for spider veins and small varicose veins. A specialist solution is injected into the vein, causing it to collapse and gradually fade as the body processes it. A consultation is required to confirm suitability and to discuss medical history and expectations. Treatment involves multiple small injections into the affected veins. Mild stinging can occur, and bruising is possible. Compression may be advised depending on the area and protocol. Results develop over weeks, and more than one session may be recommended for optimal improvement.
