Conditions Treated by
Sclerotherapy
-
Varicose Veins: Enlarged, twisted veins that can cause discomfort and affect the appearance of the legs.
-
Spider Veins: Small, web-like veins that appear close to the surface of the skin, often red or blue in color.
-
Venous Malformations: Abnormal clusters of veins that can cause aesthetic and physical discomfort.
What to Expect During a Sclerotherapy Procedure?
The procedure involves injecting a sclerosing solution into the affected veins using a fine needle. The solution irritates the vein walls, causing them to collapse and gradually fade away. The treatment typically takes 30-60 minutes, depending on the size and number of veins being treated.
Results of Sclerotherapy Treatment
You’ll begin to notice a reduction in the appearance of spider veins within a few weeks, with full results typically visible after several months. As the treated veins fade, the skin becomes smoother, and any associated symptoms like pain or swelling diminish. The results are long-lasting, especially when combined with lifestyle changes to prevent new vein formation.
Recovery and Aftercare
After sclerotherapy, you may experience mild bruising, redness, or swelling at the injection sites, which usually subsides within a few days. Compression stockings are often recommended to promote healing and improve circulation. It’s essential to avoid strenuous exercise and sun exposure on the treated areas for a couple of weeks. Walking is encouraged to improve blood flow, but be sure to follow any specific aftercare instructions provided by your doctor for the best results.
