Sclerotherapy for Spider Veins
Sclerotherapy for spider veins is a proven procedure for treating widened, superficial blood vessels that are visible as spider veins. A special solution is injected into the affected vessels, leading to targeted obliteration and subsequent breakdown of the vessels by the body.
Treatment Procedure
- Initially, a thorough examination and consultation take place to determine the degree of spider veins and choose the best treatment strategy.
- During the treatment, the sclerosing solution is injected directly into the affected vessels. This leads to a controlled inflammatory reaction, which seals the vessel walls and initiates their breakdown.
- The treated vessels disappear within weeks to months, resulting in smoother, more uniform skin appearance.
Benefits of Sclerotherapy for Spider Veins
- Non-invasive method with quick results
- Long-term reduction of visible spider veins
- Low downtime – daily activities can usually be resumed immediately
Aftercare Instructions
After the treatment, mild redness or swelling may occur, which typically subsides within a few days. We recommend wearing compression stockings and avoiding intense sun exposure in the first weeks after the treatment.
