Sclerotherapy is a minimally invasive treatment designed to reduce the appearance of spider and small varicose veins. By injecting a specialised solution, damaged veins are sealed and gradually fade, improving both the look and comfort of your legs.
Sclerotherapy involves injecting a medical-grade sclerosant directly into unwanted veins, causing them to collapse and be naturally absorbed by the body. It is a highly effective treatment for spider veins and smaller varicose veins, often performed on the legs, helping improve skin appearance and relieve symptoms like heaviness or discomfort.
A fine needle injects the sclerosant solution into the affected veins, irritating the vein lining. This causes the vein walls to stick together and collapse, redirecting blood flow to healthier veins. Over weeks, the treated veins are absorbed by the body and fade from view.
