SCLEROTHERAPHY
How does it work?
Sclerotherapy involves injecting a solution directly into the vein.
The sclerotherapy solution causes the vein to scar, forcing blood to reroute through healthier veins.
The collapsed vein is reabsorbed into local tissue and eventually fades.
After sclerotherapy, treated veins tend to fade within a few weeks, although occasionally it may take a month or more to see the full results.
In some instances, several sclerotherapy treatments may be needed.

Your Sclerotheraphy Questions Answered
What is sclerotherapy and how does it work?
Sclerotherapy is a minimally invasive medical procedure that treats varicose and spider veins.
A special solution is injected directly into the problematic veins, causing them to collapse and gradually fade away as the body naturally redirects blood flow to healthier veins.
Is sclerotherapy a painful procedure?
Most patients experience minimal discomfort during the procedure. You may feel slight stinging or cramping when the solution is injected, but the treatment is generally well-tolerated and doesn't require anesthesia.
How many treatments will I need to see results?
While some improvement may be visible after the first session, most patients require 2-3 treatments spaced several weeks apart for optimal results.
The exact number depends on the size and number of veins being treated.
Who is a good candidate for sclerotherapy?
Ideal candidates are individuals with spider veins or small to medium-sized varicose veins.
However, those with a history of blood clots, certain cardiovascular conditions, or pregnant women may not be suitable candidates.
A consultation is necessary to determine eligibility.
What is the recovery time after sclerotherapy?
Recovery is typically quick, with most patients returning to normal activities within 24-48 hours.
However, you'll need to wear compression stockings for a short period and avoid strenuous exercise for a few days after treatment.
What are the possible side effects?
Common temporary side effects include mild swelling, warmth, and discomfort around the injection sites.
Some patients may experience temporary darkening of the treated area or small clusters of red blood vessels.
Serious complications are rare when the procedure is performed by a qualified professional.
