AM I A CANDIDATE?

Candidates for sclerotherapy are typically adults with visible spider veins or small varicose veins who wish to improve their appearance and alleviate related symptoms.

This treatment is suitable for non-pregnant individuals, as pregnant women are generally advised to wait until after pregnancy. It is important for candidates to not have severe venous insufficiency or clotting disorders. Additionally, having healthy skin in the treatment area, free of infections or serious skin conditions, is essential.

Ideal candidates are those with realistic expectations about the results and who understand the potential risks and benefits of the procedure. It is also crucial that they do not have a known allergy to the sclerosing agents used.

A thorough consultation with a healthcare provider will determine if sclerotherapy is the right option based on individual health and vein conditions.

What to Expect

  • Consent & Prep:

    • Patient consents; the treatment area is cleaned and prepared.

  • Inject:

    • Using a fine needle, a sclerosing solution is injected into the targeted
      veins. The injections cause the veins to collapse and be absorbed by the
      body.

  • Quick Process:

    • Each session typically lasts 30-45 minutes.

  • Results:

  • You may experience some mild side effects such as bruising, redness, and
    swelling at the injection sites, which usually subside within a few days to
    weeks. The treated veins will gradually fade over time.

  • Aftercare:

    Resume normal activities immediately but avoid strenuous exercise and hot baths for a few days. Compression stockings or bandages may be recommended to aid healing.

  • Follow-up:

    Follow-up sessions may be necessary to achieve optimal results, depending on the extent of the veins being treated.

FAQs

  • Sclerotherapy involves injecting a solution directly into the targeted veins. This solution irritates the lining of the blood vessels, causing them to collapse and eventually be absorbed by the body.

  • Most patients experience minimal discomfort during sclerotherapy. You may feel a slight pinch or mild burning sensation at the injection site, but it's generally well-tolerated.

  • The number of sessions required depends on the size and number of veins being treated. Typically, multiple sessions spaced a few weeks apart are needed to achieve optimal results.

  • While sclerotherapy is considered safe, mild side effects such as bruising, redness, and swelling at the injection sites are common. In rare cases, more serious complications such as allergic reactions or blood clots may occur.

  • During the procedure, you'll lie down with your legs elevated while the sclerosing solution is injected into the targeted veins. Afterward, you may experience mild discomfort or bruising, but you can usually resume normal activities immediately.

  • There is typically no downtime after sclerotherapy, and you can resume your normal activities right away. However, it's recommended to avoid strenuous exercise and hot baths for a few days.

  • While some immediate improvement may be visible, the full results of sclerotherapy develop gradually over several weeks as the treated veins fade and are absorbed by the body.

  • Treated veins usually do not return, but new veins may develop over time. Maintenance treatments may be needed to address any new or recurrent veins.
