Sclerotherapy TechniqueSclerotherapy is a non-surgical technique that can treat most varicose and spider leg veins. A very fine needle is used to inject the veins with a specific solution that closes down the vein walls so that they stick together and are gradually reabsorbed by the body. The surface veins are no longer visible. With this procedure veins can be dealt with early on helping to prevent further complications. One to two weeks after treatment you may experience soreness, irritation, and/or bruising. Two weeks after treatment if you have any pinpoint discomfort or bruising you may be experiencing trapped blood, which is easily removed.Each sclerotherapy treatment takes about 20 minutes. The number of treatments depends on the severity of the vein problem. You may resume normal activity immediately and exercising and walking are encouraged. |
