How Sclerotherapy Works

A fine needle is used to inject the sclerosing solution into the vein. The solution causes the vein’s inner lining to become irritated, leading to the collapse of the vein walls. The collapsed vein is eventually reabsorbed by the body and fades away.

Sclerotherapy is a medical procedure used to treat varicose veins and spider veins. It involves the injection of a sclerosing agent, which is a solution, directly into the affected veins. This solution irritates the lining of the blood vessels, causing them to collapse, stick together, and eventually turn into scar tissue, which fades away over time.

Frequently Asked Questions

Still have questions? Contact our team who will be happy to answer any queries or concerns.

How long will the results last?

Once a varicose vein is fully closed, it remains closed, but veins are living parts of the body and they can re-grow. Your practitioner will monitor your progress and advise on any further treatment.

Is there any downtime?

Minimally invasive treatments with the use of local anaesthetic minimise downtime. After treatment you can resume normal activity.

How long will the treatment take?

In most cases, treatment should take under an hour.

Is it painful?

Discomfort caused by the operation is considered tolerable and relatively painless.
