Sclerotherapy

What Is Sclerotherapy?

Sclerotherapy is a minimally invasive treatment used to reduce or eliminate spider veins and small varicose veins. During the procedure, a specialized solution is injected directly into the affected vein, causing the vein walls to collapse and seal shut. Over time, the treated vein is naturally absorbed by the body and gradually fades from view.

Sclerotherapy is a safe, effective, and widely used treatment that can improve both the appearance of visible veins and symptoms such as aching, burning, swelling, or discomfort associated with venous disease.
