SCLEROTHERAPY

Varicose veins are not thought to be a major medical condition. However, they can be uncomfortable and can lead to more serious complications.

Varicose veins and spider veins are typically treated using sclerotherapy. This non-surgical method involves injecting a mild sclerosing solution to cause the small blood vessels to constrict. The vein eventually disappears and is reabsorbed into the affected tissue.

​

The size, quantity, and location of the varicose veins determine how many veins are injected during a single session. You may need several sessions of sclerotherapy if you have several varicose or spider veins that need to be treated.
