Sclerotherapy
About The Treatment
Sclerotherapy is a medical procedure used to treat varicose and spider veins. During the procedure, a solution is injected directly into the veins, causing them to collapse and fade from view. Sclerotherapy improves the appearance of the legs and reduces symptoms associated with varicose veins, such as pain and swelling. The treatment is minimally invasive and offers significant cosmetic and symptomatic relief.

What to Expect?
The procedure involves injecting a sclerosing solution into the targeted veins using a fine needle. Patients may experience mild discomfort during the injections and some bruising or swelling in the treated areas. Compression stockings are often recommended to be worn for a few days to weeks following the treatment to aid in healing. Multiple sessions may be needed to achieve optimal results, with gradual improvement in the appearance of the veins over several weeks to months.
