Sclerotherapy for leg spider/varicose veins

Sclerotherapy involves the injection of small amounts of chemical solution through a tiny needle directly into the faulty vein. The chemical irritates the vein wall, causing it to close and eliminate trapped blood. Sclerotherapy is commonly considered the gold-standard for spider vein treatment and has been in use for many years. In experienced hands, it is generally a safe and effective vein treatment. Depending on the extent of veins treated, multiple sclerotherapy sessions may be needed to achieve full clearance.

 

The advantage of sclerotherapy is the speed with which large spider veins can be treated. The technique is also very economical. For those patients who suffer from relatively limited disease, we also offer laser treatment for spider veins.
