How Sclerotherapy Works

A solution is injected into the vein, causing it to close so that it fades over the following weeks. It works on small superficial veins rather than larger varicose veins.

Assessment matters here. A history of clots or circulation problems changes whether this is appropriate, and some veins point to something that needs a GP rather than a clinic.

More than one session is often needed, and treated veins can look worse before they look better.

A Good Fit If

Thread veins on the legs
Spider veins you cover up
Small visible veins that bother you
Wanting them assessed properly first

Not The Right Choice If

You have larger varicose veins, those need a vascular assessment
You have a history of blood clots that has not been reviewed
You want them gone after one appointment

The Things People Actually Ask

Not Sure If It Would Suit You?

Not always. Several veins commonly need more than one session.

Gradually. Treated veins can look more noticeable at first before fading.

There is some stinging as the solution goes in. Most people find it manageable.

As with any injectable there are, including bruising and skin changes, and rarely more significant complications. These are discussed at consultation.

No. This treats small superficial veins. Larger varicose veins need a vascular assessment.

Skincare That Actually Suits Your Skin

Shop-bought skincare is weaker for a reason. The professional stuff works, but the wrong active on the wrong skin does more harm than none at all, so she picks it after seeing your skin and orders it in for you.
