Sclerotherapy: Effective Treatment for Spider and Varicose Veins
Sclerotherapy is a trusted, minimally invasive procedure for reducing the appearance of spider and varicose veins. Whether you’re looking to address visible veins for cosmetic reasons or to relieve discomfort, sclerotherapy is a safe and effective treatment that restores confidence in your skin. By injecting a specialized solution directly into the targeted veins, sclerotherapy allows them to collapse and gradually fade, leaving skin smoother, clearer, and vein-free.
What is Sclerotherapy?
Sclerotherapy involves injecting a safe sclerosing solution into affected veins, causing them to close and eventually disappear as the body naturally reabsorbs them. This treatment is highly effective for small to medium-sized veins, such as spider veins and smaller varicose veins, and is commonly used on the legs, ankles, and face. Over time, treated veins diminish, restoring a more even skin tone and improved appearance.
Benefits of Sclerotherapy
Sclerotherapy offers a range of benefits for those looking to reduce unwanted veins, including:
- Noticeable results: Treated veins begin to fade within weeks, with full results typically visible after 1-2 treatments.
- Minimally invasive: Sclerotherapy is a straightforward, quick procedure with minimal discomfort, requiring no surgical intervention.
- Long-lasting results: Once treated, veins typically do not reappear, though new veins can form over time and may require follow-up treatment.
- Improved skin appearance: Sclerotherapy is an excellent choice for patients looking to restore smooth, even-toned skin on the legs and other areas.
- Relief from symptoms: For patients experiencing discomfort, aching, or heaviness due to varicose veins, sclerotherapy can provide significant relief.
What to Expect During and After Sclerotherapy
Sclerotherapy is performed in-office and usually takes about 30 minutes, depending on the number of veins being treated. Patients can expect minor stinging or cramping during the injection process, but any discomfort is generally minimal. After the treatment, compression stockings may be recommended to support circulation and optimize results. Most patients can resume normal activities right away, with minimal restrictions.
