Sclerotherapy, the first and most effective method that comes to mind for treating varicose veins, a problem shared by many people today, is performed by injecting a medication (sclerosant) into the vein.
It should be emphasized that this method is the most effective treatment for “spider veins” and “thread veins”. Sclerotherapy safely eliminates dilated capillaries and small veins.
Sclerotherapy is most effective on veins prone to varicose dilation. Larger veins usually require surgical methods. The technique is also used to refine the results achieved with laser ablation or miniphlebectomy of varicose veins.
Sclerotherapy has no adverse effect on healthy veins, requires no preparation and is just a 20-minute procedure.
Advantages of sclerotherapy:
Painless
No incisions
No anesthesia required
Excellent cosmetic results
Practically no complications
Treated veins never come back
No restrictions on normal lifestyle or work
Performed on an outpatient basis (the procedure takes 5–15 minutes, after which you return to your daily life)
