Sclerotherapy

Sclerotherapy

Sclerotherapy is a minimally invasive procedure designed to treat and reduce the appearance of spider veins and small varicose veins, restoring smoother, healthier-looking skin. This treatment works by injecting a specialized solution directly into the affected veins, causing them to collapse and fade over time as the body naturally redirects blood flow to healthier veins.

All sclerotherapy treatments at Prime Aesthetics are delivered by our registered doctor, ensuring the highest levels of safety and expertise.

Benefits of Sclerotherapy

01. Effective Treatment for Varicose and Spider Veins

Sclerotherapy is a proven treatment for varicose veins and spider veins, which are caused by blood pooling in weak or damaged veins. By injecting a sclerosant solution into the affected veins, it irritates the vein walls, causing them to collapse and eventually be absorbed by the body. This process eliminates unsightly veins, restoring clearer and smoother skin.

02. Improves Symptoms of Leg Discomfort and Fatigue

Varicose veins can cause heaviness, swelling, aching, and cramping in the legs, particularly after prolonged standing or sitting. Sclerotherapy relieves these symptoms by eliminating the problematic veins, improving blood flow and reducing leg discomfort and fatigue. This allows for greater comfort in daily activities.

03. Minimally Invasive with Quick Recovery

Sclerotherapy is a non-surgical, minimally invasive procedure that requires no general anesthesia or downtime. The treatment involves a simple series of injections, making it a quick in-office procedure that typically takes 30-45 minutes. Most patients can resume normal activities the same day, making it an ideal option for those with busy lifestyles.

04. Long-Lasting Results with Improved Circulation

Once the treated veins collapse and are absorbed, they do not return. Sclerotherapy not only provides long-lasting cosmetic improvements but also improves circulation by rerouting blood through healthier veins. This reduces the risk of complications like venous ulcers, blood clots, and further vein damage.

05. Boosts Confidence and Aesthetics

Sclerotherapy significantly reduces the appearance of visible veins, restoring confidence in your legs’ appearance. Whether it’s spider veins or larger varicose veins, the treatment leaves the skin looking smoother, clearer, and more youthful, helping clients feel more comfortable wearing shorts, dresses, or swimwear.

Sclerotherapy Treats

01.

Spider Veins

Sclerotherapy effectively treats spider veins, which are small, thin, red, blue, or purple veins that appear just beneath the skin’s surface, often on the legs or face. These veins are caused by weakened valves and increased pressure in the veins. By injecting a solution directly into the affected veins, sclerotherapy causes them to collapse and fade over time, leaving the skin clearer and more even-toned.

02.

Varicose Veins

Sclerotherapy can treat smaller varicose veins, which are enlarged, twisted veins that bulge out beneath the skin. Varicose veins are often painful and cause swelling, aching, and heaviness in the legs. Sclerotherapy helps to eliminate these veins, improving blood flow and reducing discomfort, while also restoring the appearance of smoother, healthier-looking legs.

03.

Reticular Veins

These are larger, greenish-blue veins that often feed into spider veins. Found deeper under the skin, reticular veins can create an unsightly network of visible veins. Sclerotherapy collapses these veins, preventing them from feeding into smaller spider veins, improving both the appearance and health of the venous system.

04.

Venous Insufficiency Symptoms

Sclerotherapy is an effective treatment for mild cases of chronic venous insufficiency, a condition where damaged veins cannot pump blood properly back to the heart. This can lead to symptoms like swelling, aching, and leg cramps. By treating the problematic veins, sclerotherapy improves blood circulation, reducing pain, discomfort, and swelling.

05.

Leg Ulcers and Skin Discoloration

Untreated varicose veins and poor circulation can lead to complications like leg ulcers and hyperpigmentation (brownish skin discoloration caused by blood pooling). Sclerotherapy helps resolve the underlying vein issues that contribute to these problems, improving skin appearance and preventing further damage to the tissue.
