Sclerotherapy Treatment

Are you experiencing aching, burning, or swelling in your legs? Sclerotherapy may be right for you. Sclerotherapy is a non-surgical vein treatment used to treat varicose and spider veins. This procedure helps you get back to your daily routine in a short amount of time with little discomfort.

Sclerotherapy Procedure

Sclerotherapy treatment entails a solution called sclerosant that is injected into your vein. This solution causes the vein to scar, collapse, and reabsorb into your body. Meanwhile, we reroute your blood into healthy veins. This technique makes it both an effective spider vein and varicose vein treatment.

Outpatient Treatment

Sclerotherapy is an outpatient procedure that takes between 15 to 30 minutes. It is performed in the comfort of our clinic. Your doctor will inject the solution into the vein using a fine needle. 

 

 

Even though you may experience some minor discomfort during the sclerotherapy treatment, you will immediately be able to get up and walk once the procedure is complete. 

 

Avoid strenuous activities for one week and wear compression socks according to your doctor’s instructions.
