microsclerotherapy

Microsclerotherapy is a safe and convenient method of diminishing the appearance of spider veins and thread veins on the face and legs. An ultra fine needle injects a sclerosant fluid that makes the vein wall stick to itself, obliterating it.

There is usually minimal or no discomfort during microsclerotherapy injections due to the size of the needle and the superficial injection technique. Following injections, a compression stocking is applied which may be worn for several days to help assist shrinkage of the thread veins.

Anyone can suffer with thread (red, spider or broken) veins, and they can appear on any part of the body. Although harmless, they can cause distress as the sufferer often feels self-conscious, particularly if the veins are on an exposed part of the body, such as the legs, which people can see.
