Sclerotherapy

Sclerotherapy is a medical procedure commonly used to treat spider veins and varicose veins. During the treatment, a solution is injected directly into the affected veins, causing them to scar and eventually close off. Over time, the body absorbs the treated veins, redirecting blood flow to healthier veins. Sclerotherapy is often performed in a health professional's office and is considered a safe and effective way to improve the appearance of spider veins and varicose veins.

Sclerotherapy is a minimally invasive procedure commonly used to treat varicose and spider veins. During the procedure, a sclerosing solution is injected directly into the affected veins, causing them to shrink, collapse, and eventually fade from view.

Patients can expect some discomfort during the injections, with mild burning or cramping sensations. After the procedure, compression stockings are usually worn to help with healing and to minimize the risk of blood clots.

It's common to experience bruising, redness, or raised areas at the injection sites, but these usually subside within a few days to a few weeks. Multiple sessions may be required to achieve desired results, depending on the severity of the veins being treated.

Overall, Sclerotherapy is a safe and effective treatment for varicose and spider veins, with minimal downtime and noticeable improvements in the appearance of the legs. Be sure to consult with Reema to determine if Sclerotherapy is the right option for you.

The recovery time for Sclerotherapy typically ranges from a few days to several weeks, depending on the individual and the extent of treatment. Some patients may experience mild bruising, swelling, or discomfort at the injection sites, which usually subside within a few days. It is recommended to avoid strenuous exercise and excessive sun exposure during the recovery period to optimize results. It's important to follow post-treatment care instructions provided by your healthcare provider for a smooth recovery process. If you have any concerns or experience prolonged discomfort, be sure to contact your Reema for further guidance.
