Sclerotherapy FAQs
Sclerotherapy is a nonsurgical procedure used to reduce the appearance of varicose and spider veins, and to treat blood and lymph disorders. It's performed by a medically trained doctor who directly injects a sclerosant solution into the vein, causing the vein’s walls to swell and seal shut. This stops blood flow to the vein, and results in the vein shrinking and fading within just a few weeks.
Sclerotherapy is commonly used to improve the appearance of varicose veins and spider veins, but it is also used to treat haemorrhoids, malformed lymph vessels, and hydroceles.
Sclerotherapy is generally considered a safe procedure. However, you could experience dizziness, nausea, infections, severe inflammation, an allergic reaction, blood clot, or a lasting skin injury if you forget to follow the post-procedure medical advice you’re given, or if you have medical conditions or take medications that could agitate the treatment. You should avoid sclerotherapy if you are pregnant, breastfeeding, or confined to your bed.
It typically takes 3-6 weeks for spider veins, and 3-4 months for varicose veins to shrink or disappear.
Sclerotherapy tends to be a 30-45 minute outpatient procedure performed by a certified medical professional. Treatment can be carried in one of two ways: either injecting the target vein with sclerotherapy solution using a fine needle, or by inserting a catheter into the vein and using 90% alcohol to block the vessel itself. If the latter method is used, you’re likely to have an anaesthetic applied before the catheter is inserted. You may experience cramping or a mild sensation of burning during the treatment.
You may well need multiple sclerotherapy treatments to achieve the results you want.
