Sclerotherapy is a procedure used to treat spider veins on the legs, by injections of medicine into the vessels which makes them shrink.
Injecting the unwanted veins with a medicated solution causes the target vein to immediately close its walls, and then dissolve over a period of weeks as the body naturally absorbs the treated vein.
Sclerotherapy is a non-invasive procedure taking only about 20-30 minutes to perform. The downtime is minimal, in comparison to an invasive varicose vein surgery. You might expect some minimal bruising and temporary redness at the sites of injection. We also ask that you wear compression stockings over next 3 days to speed up the healing process.
Sclerotherapy is the “gold standard” and is preferred over laser for eliminating spider veins. Unlike a laser, which is also typically quite painful, the sclerosing solution additionally closes the “feeder veins” under the skin that are causing the spider veins to form, thereby making a recurrence of the spider veins in the treated area less likely.
