Visual Sclerotherapy

Sclerotherapy is the treatment that has been used since the 1930’s and is considered by Phlebologist to be the most effective treatment for varicose veins and spider veins available to date. This treatment eliminates the unsightly purple and blue veins that are the cause of embarrassment and discomfort for many people.

 

 

How does Sclerotherapy work?

Sclerotherapy treatment involves using a fine needle to inject a sclerosing solution directly into the affected veins which irritates the lining of the blood vessel. The vessel then collapses and closes. The damaged veins then begin to be absorbed by the body. Sclerotherapy treatments usually are administered in 3-5 separate sessions to provide desired results.  The treated veins usually begin to disappear gradually over the next 2-5 months.

What are the benefits of Sclerotherapy?

Not only does Sclerotherapy produce excellent cosmetic results, it also improves circulation in the legs because the blood flow is redirected to healthy veins rather than supplying blood to the damaged ones. Despite all the advancements in laser technology, Sclerotherapy remains the most frequently used treatments by doctors for varicose vein and spider vein treatment. It is the most effective, least invasive, inexpensive and pain free treatment currently available.
