Procedure and Recovery
Sclerotherapy is straightforward and efficient. After a consultation to identify the veins to be treated, a fine needle is used to inject a sclerosing solution into each vein. The procedure is relatively painless, with only minor discomfort reported by some clients. You may be advised to wear compression stockings post-treatment to aid in the healing process and optimize results
Recovery from Sclerotherapy is quick, with most clients returning to normal activities the same day. It’s common to experience some minor bruising, swelling, or redness at the injection sites, but these effects typically subside within a few days. Optimal results become visible in a few weeks, as treated veins fade or disappear.
The Sclerotherapy procedure is considered a safe vein treatmentwith a low risk of complications. Rarely, some clients may experience allergic reactions, skin discoloration, or the formation of new spider veins near the treated area.

FAQs
Treated veins generally do not return after Sclerotherapy. However, new veins may appear over time, and additional treatments may be necessary to maintain results.
The number of treatments needed depends on the number and size of veins being treated. Many clients achieve their desired results within 2 to 4 sessions.
The procedure involves minimal discomfort, similar to a small pinch or sting when the solution is injected. Any discomfort typically subsides shortly after the procedure.
Results can vary, but most clients see significant improvement in the appearance of treated veins within 3 to 6 weeks. For larger veins, it may take up to a few months to fully realize the effects.
