Sclerotherapy
Milton Keynes Leading Beauty, Laser & Cosmetic Clinic
Sclerotherapy effectively treats varicose and spider veins. It's often considered the treatment of choice for small varicose veins.
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.
Why it's done?
Sclerotherapy is often done for cosmetic purposes — to improve the appearance of varicose and spider veins.
The procedure can also improve related symptoms such as:
- Aching
- Swelling
- Burning
- Night cramps
How many treatments will I need?
The number of treatments needed depends on the size and extent of the veins. Several injections in to the veins of one or both legs can be performed at each session, however the amount of sclerosant that can be injected in a single treatment will limit the number of injections you can have. If only a small number of spider veins are to be treated, sometimes only two or three treatments will be adequate. More extensive or prominent varicose veins may require a series of treatment sessions in order to reach the desired result.
