Sclerotherapy is a minimally invasive treatment used to reduce the appearance of spider veins and small reticular veins. It involves injecting a special solution into the affected veins, causing them to collapse and gradually fade over time.
This safe and effective procedure improves circulation and restores a smoother, more even skin tone. It's particularly popular for treating thread veins on the legs.
How Does Sclerotherapy Work?
A sclerosing solution is injected directly into the affected veins using a very fine needle. This solution irritates the vein lining, causing it to collapse and stick together. Over time, the body naturally absorbs the treated vein, and blood flow is redirected to healthier veins.

What to Expect
The treatment takes around 30-45 minutes depending on the number of veins being treated. You may need multiple sessions for optimal results. After treatment, you'll need to wear compression stockings and avoid strenuous exercise for a short period.
