Sclerotherapy
What Is Sclerotherapy ?
Sclerotherapy is a minimally invasive procedure used to treat varicose veins and spider veins. A solution is injected directly into the vein, causing it to collapse and scar shut. Over time, the treated vein is reabsorbed by the body, reducing the appearance of unwanted veins.
What are the benefits of Sclerotherapy?

- The procedure itself typically takes 15-30 minutes and is performed on an outpatient basis.
- A thin needle is used to inject the solution into the targeted veins.
