Procedure Time30 Minutes
AnaestheticNot Required
Sessions Required1-3 TreatmentsSclerotherapy is a straightforward procedure that does not require anaesthesia. The treatment takes around 30 minutes, depending on the size of the area and the number of veins being treated.
During the procedure, you will lie comfortably on your back with your legs slightly elevated. Your doctor will first cleanse the area before injecting a solution into the targeted vein using a fine needle. The solution irritates the lining of the vein, causing it to collapse and seal shut. The body then gradually reabsorbs the treated vein over time. As a result, the vein gradually fades within a few weeks.
You may experience mild stinging, tingling, or cramping during the injection; however, this is usually brief and well tolerated. Let your doctor know if you're experiencing any discomfort.
After the injections, your doctor will apply compression and gently massage the area to keep blood from re-entering the treated vein and to help disperse the solution. A compression pad may be placed over the injection site to maintain pressure.
Following the procedure, it’s essential to walk around to reduce the risk of blood clots. Most patients can resume their regular activities the same day.
