Sclerotherapy

Overview

Sclerotherapy is a highly effective, minimally invasive treatment designed to improve the appearance of varicose veins and spider veins. By injecting a sclerosant solution directly into the affected veins, sclerotherapy causes the veins to collapse and fade away over time. This procedure is a popular choice for individuals seeking relief from the discomfort and cosmetic concerns associated with venous conditions. Sclerotherapy offers a quick solution with minimal downtime and long-lasting results.

How Sclerotherapy Works

During a sclerotherapy procedure, a sclerosant solution is injected into the targeted vein using a fine needle. The solution irritates the lining of the vein, causing it to shrink and eventually dissolve. Over time, the treated vein is reabsorbed by the body and becomes less visible. Multiple veins can be treated in a single session, depending on their size and location.

Treatment Process

Consultation: A thorough consultation to assess the extent of vein issues and determine if sclerotherapy is appropriate.
Preparation: The treatment area is cleaned and marked.
Injection: The sclerosant solution is injected into the affected veins.
Post-Treatment Care: Compression stockings may be recommended to support the healing process and improve results.

Sclerotherapy is a treatment that involves injecting a sclerosant solution into varicose or spider veins, causing them to collapse and gradually disappear.

The sclerosant solution irritates the vein’s inner lining, leading to its closure and absorption by the body. This process reduces the visibility of the vein.

Most patients experience minimal discomfort during the procedure. The injections may cause a brief stinging or cramping sensation.

The procedure typically takes 30-60 minutes, depending on the number and size of veins being treated.

Recovery time is minimal. Patients can usually resume normal activities immediately after the procedure, although they may be advised to avoid strenuous exercise for a short period.

Common side effects include temporary swelling, redness, or bruising at the injection sites. Rare complications may include allergic reactions or skin discoloration.

The number of sessions required depends on the size and number of veins being treated. Multiple sessions may be needed to achieve optimal results.
