Understanding Sclerotherapy for Spider and Varicose Veins
Spider veins and small varicose veins can cause aching, swelling, and cosmetic concerns. One of the most common treatments is sclerotherapy, a simple, office-based procedure that helps close off problem veins.
During sclerotherapy, a small amount of special medicine is injected directly into the vein. This causes the vein walls to stick together and eventually collapse. Over time, the body naturally absorbs the vein, and blood is redirected to healthier veins.
The procedure usually takes less than an hour, and patients can return to daily activities the same day. Some may need more than one session for best results, depending on the number and size of veins. Sclerotherapy is safe, effective, and has been used for many years to improve both symptoms and appearance.
