Sclerotherapy is a non-invasive medical-aesthetic treatment designed to eliminate spider veins and small visible superficial veins, primarily on the legs.
It’s a safe and effective procedure that involves injecting a sclerosing agent directly into the targeted blood vessels, causing them to close and gradually be reabsorbed by the body.
This technique is often used to treat:
✔ Spider veins (small red, blue, or purple vessels visible on the skin’s surface)
✔ Telangiectasia (dilated capillaries near the surface of the skin)
✔ Small reticular veins, which are superficial—not deep—varicose veins, but can still be visible beneath the skin
Unlike laser treatments that work from the surface, sclerotherapy works from the inside of the vessel, making it an effective option for improving the appearance of the legs and reducing discomfort related to poor circulation.
Sclerotherapy involves injecting a sclerosing solution into the targeted vein. This solution, in liquid or foam form, irritates the inner lining of the blood vessel, triggering inflammation and gradual closure. Blood is naturally rerouted to healthier veins, while the treated vein is absorbed by the body over time.
Mechanism of Action:
Why Is Sclerotherapy Effective?
Unlike surface-level treatments like lasers, sclerotherapy targets the inside of the vessel for complete and lasting closure. This makes it especially effective for treating vessels in the legs, where veins are often harder to treat with other methods.
Sclerotherapy is a minimally invasive method that treats unwanted superficial veins with targeted injections.
It’s particularly recommended for visible veins on the legs and thighs, improving both skin appearance and patient comfort.
The injected solution causes the vessel to close and be reabsorbed, redirecting blood flow to healthy veins—improving circulation and visibly reducing unsightly veins.
Beyond cosmetic benefits, sclerotherapy may help relieve certain symptoms associated with spider veins, such as heaviness, mild pain, and nighttime cramps.
Sclerotherapy is ideal for individuals looking to reduce or eliminate visible superficial veins and improve the appearance of their legs.
Initial results can be seen within 2 to 6 weeks, with continued improvement after each session.
✔ Treated veins fade gradually and become less visible after each session.
✔ Typically requires 2 to 4 sessions spaced 4 to 6 weeks apart, depending on the extent of the veins.
✔ Results are long-lasting, but new veins may appear over time—maintenance treatments can help preserve results.
Sclerotherapy is minimally uncomfortable. The injection may cause a mild stinging or burning sensation that lasts only a few seconds. After treatment, some tenderness or temporary bruising may occur, usually resolving within a few days.
