Spider Vein Removal – Sclerotherapy

Clear Vein Confidence: Spider Vein Removal with Sclerotherapy

Spider Vein Removal – Sclerotherapy

Sclerotherapy is a minimally invasive treatment designed to address spider veins and small varicose veins. This procedure involves injecting a specialized solution directly into the veins, causing them to collapse and eventually fade. It’s a highly effective method to restore clear and healthy-looking skin.

What Areas Can Be Treated with Sclerotherapy?

Sclerotherapy is commonly used to treat spider veins and small varicose veins on the legs, thighs, and occasionally the face or hands.

What Is the Cost of Spider Vein Removal?

At Our Skin Clinic, a 30-minute session of sclerotherapy is available for £180. Multiple sessions may be recommended depending on the extent of the veins being treated.

What Can I Expect During the Procedure?

The procedure begins with cleansing the treatment area, followed by the injection of the sclerosing solution directly into the targeted veins using a fine needle. Each injection takes only a few minutes, and a typical session lasts about 30 minutes. The solution irritates the vein walls, causing them to close off and reroute blood flow to healthier veins.

When Will I See Results, and How Long Do They Last?

Initial results may be visible within 3–6 weeks for smaller veins, while larger veins may take up to 3–4 months to improve. Results are long-lasting, though new veins can develop over time, which may require follow-up treatments.

Are There Any Side Effects?

Common side effects include mild bruising, swelling, or redness at the injection site, which typically subsides within a few days. In rare cases, temporary discoloration or small lumps may appear but resolve over time.

 

How Do I Prepare for the Treatment?

Avoid shaving, applying lotion, or using oils on the treatment area before the procedure. Additionally, refrain from taking blood-thinning medications or supplements, such as aspirin or fish oil, for at least a week prior, unless advised otherwise by your physician.

Can Sclerotherapy Be Combined with Other Treatments?

Yes, it can be combined with complementary therapies, such as laser treatments, to enhance results. Consultation with your specialist will determine the best approach for your individual needs.

Is There Any Downtime?

There is minimal downtime following sclerotherapy. Most patients can resume normal activities immediately, though you should avoid strenuous exercise, hot baths, and sun exposure for a few days to optimize healing.
