Sclerotherapy is a minimally invasive procedure used to treat spider veins, which are small, dilated blood vessels that appear close to the skin’s surface, usually on the legs or face. Sclerotherapy is a safe and effective treatment option for improving the appearance of spider veins, often resulting in smoother, clearer skin.
WHAT WE DO
Unfortunately, those with visible varicose or spider veins in their legs are likely to become self-conscious about their appearance. It is even worse in severe cases because the varicose veins or spider veins can cause cramping, discomfort, and pain.
The good news is that you no longer have to live with unattractive and uncomfortable veins. Advanced treatment options are available to reduce the size and severity of varicose veins and spider veins.
Sclerotherapy is one of the most common treatments for people with varicose veins or spider veins showing through the skin of their legs, arms, hands, or face. It has a high potential to shrink your varicose veins or spider veins until they no longer bother you again.
Sclerotherapy is an innovative vascular treatment where the doctor injects a specially formulated solution directly into the varicose veins or spider veins. The injected solution acts as an irritant which causes the vein walls to collapse and the veins to eventually disappear. It could take several weeks for the veins to fade away completely. But, in severe cases, additional sclerotherapy treatment sessions may be needed. It all depends on the results you wish to achieve and how your body reacts to the solution.
Sclerotherapy has various injection types which may be used, depending on the severity and circumstances of the venous condition. After an initial consultation and examination, the doctor will recommend the best sclerotherapy injection type for reducing and eliminating your venous disorder.
The two primary sclerotherapy injection types are liquid sclerotherapy and foam sclerotherapy. The sclerotherapy solution irritates the walls of the veins which causes the blood flow in the vein to stop, as a result of the blood flow being stopped the unsightly vein will eventually be absorbed and disappear. Foam sclerotherapy is used for larger veins. Foam sclerotherapy involves mixing the sclerotherapy solution and air together which allows for more surface area to be in contact with the vein wall.
One option may be more effective than the other. After your initial examination, the doctor will recommend the most effective sclerotherapy option to treat your venous disorder.
