Microsclerotherapy for Spider or Thread Veins
What is Microsclerotherapy for Spider or Thread Veins?
If you suffer from thread or spider veins, microsclerotherapy is a safe and proven option to reduce their appearance and help you to restore lost confidence. Thread or spider veins, also known by its medical term “telangiectasia varicose veins”, are red and irregular in appearance. They are the result of very fine dilated veins lying just beneath the surface of the skin. The condition most often affects the legs, but can occasionally be found in other parts of the body, including the face.
If spider veins are a cause of concern for you, then there is no need to worry. Your situation will be assessed by our doctor during your comprehensive consultation.

How does it work?
With microsclerotherapy, our expert doctor carefully injects a substance, Sclerovein, directly into the veins, causing them to shrink. This product is safely absorbed by your body over a period of a few weeks. Microsclerotherapy is a very simple and straightforward procedure. Thankfully, it is extremely effective, too.

Following each session, you will be given high compression stockings to wear continuously for several days to support the treatment. You may experience some brown discolouration of the skin, which can appear for up to three months. You will be able to drive immediately after the session. Normal exercise can be resumed after 24 hours, including swimming.
