Sclerotherapy

Sclerotherapy is a widely used and minimally invasive medical procedure designed to treat varicose and spider veins. It involves the injection of a specialized solution, called a sclerosant, directly into the affected veins. This solution irritates the lining of the blood vessels, causing them to collapse and eventually be absorbed by the body. Over time, the treated veins fade from view, restoring a smoother appearance to the skin.

Why is Sclerotherapy Done?

Sclerotherapy is primarily used for cosmetic reasons, helping individuals eliminate unsightly spider veins and small varicose veins, especially on the legs and face. However, it is also a medical treatment option for people experiencing symptoms like aching, swelling, burning, or night cramps due to faulty veins. It is most effective for small to medium-sized veins. For larger veins or more complex cases, other treatments like laser therapy or surgery may be recommended.
