SCLEROTHERAPY

Sclerotherapy is a medical procedure used to treat varicose veins and spider veins. It involves injecting a solution directly into the affected veins. This solution, typically a salt solution or a chemical called a sclerosant, irritates the lining of the blood vessel, causing it to collapse and stick together. Over time, the vessel turns into scar tissue and fades from view.

• Varicose Veins: Larger, twisted veins usually found in the legs.

• Spider Veins: Smaller, red, purple, and blue vessels that also twist and turn, visible on the legs and face.
