Sclerotherapy Treatment

Sclerotherapy is a minimally invasive treatment that involves injecting a solution into veins to close them and improve appearance and symptoms.

What is Sclerotherapy?

Sclerotherapy is a safe, non-surgical treatment for spider veins and small varicose veins. It involves injecting a special solution directly into the affected vein, causing it to collapse and eventually fade from view.

It is one of the most effective cosmetic treatments for improving the appearance of spider veins (telangiectasias) and reticular veins on the legs, and it is often combined with laser therapy for a complete vascular solution

When is Sclerotherapy Recommended?

Sclerotherapy is best suited for:

  • Spider veins (tiny red, blue, or purple veins on the skin).
  • Small varicose veins not suitable for laser treatment.
  • Patients looking for a cosmetic improvement in the appearance of their legs.

For larger varicose veins and deeper venous insufficiency, ELVeS® Laser Therapy remains the gold standard.

How Sclerotherapy Works

  • A fine needle is used to inject a sclerosant solution (foam or liquid) into the target vein.
  • The solution irritates the vein lining, causing it to seal shut.
  • Blood is naturally rerouted to healthy veins.

The treated vein gradually fades over weeks to months.
