Sclerotherapy

Understanding Sclerotherapy

What is Sclerotherapy?

Sclerotherapy is a medical treatment used to eliminate varicose veins and spider veins. During this procedure, a small injection of a sclerosing solution is injected directly into the affected veins. The solution causes the veins to seal shut, forcing blood to reroute through healthier veins. This method is popular because it is minimally invasive and can significantly reduce the appearance of these veins on the skin, enhancing overall leg aesthetics.

How Does the Procedure Work?

During a typical sclerotherapy session, a healthcare provider will first assess the affected area. They then use a fine needle to inject the sclerosing agent into the veins. It usually takes about 30 to 60 minutes for the entire procedure, and patients can often return to normal activities shortly afterward. However, there might be some mild discomfort during and after the procedure, but most people find the process tolerable.

Benefits and Recovery

Sclerotherapy is a highly effective way to treat varicose veins, with many patients seeing significant improvements shortly after treatment. The main benefit is the cosmetic improvement, as it reduces the visibility of the veins significantly. Additionally, patients might experience relief from symptoms like aching or swelling. Recovery typically involves wearing compression stockings and avoiding prolonged standing or strenuous activities for a few days, so the body can heal properly.

Frequently Asked Questions About Anti-Wrinkle Injections

Do I need an initial consultation before anti-wrinkle treatment?

• Yes, a face-to-face consultation with a medically qualified practitioner is required before your first treatment.

• This allows us to assess your suitability, medical history, and treatment goals.

• A prescription for botulinum toxin is issued only after this consultation.

What products do you use for anti-wrinkle treatment?

What is botulinum toxin and how does it work?

• It works by blocking the release of acetylcholine, preventing muscle contraction and softening expression lines.
