Sclerotherapy

Clearer Skin, Healthier Veins: Rediscover Confidence with Microsclerotherapy

Sclerotherapy is a popular treatment for removing spider veins, restoring confidence and confidence in wearing skirts and showing off legs. It involves injecting a special solution into visible veins, causing them to collapse and gradually disappear.

What is Sclerothrapy

Sclerotherapy is a treatment that helps make little broken veins on your legs fade away. A doctor puts a tiny amount of special medicine into the vein using a very small needle. This medicine makes the vein close up so your body can stop using it.

After the vein closes, your blood moves through healthier veins instead. Over time, the treated vein slowly disappears, and your legs look clearer and feel better. It’s a quick and simple treatment that helps people get rid of spider veins and small varicose veins.

Comprehensive Venous Assessment

  • Before fixing the tiny spider veins you can see on the skin, the doctor first checks how the deeper veins are working, often usingan ultrasound machine, which is like a special camera that looks inside your leg.

  • This helps the doctor find any bigger vein problems that might be causing the spider veins to appear.

  • Knowing what’s happening underneath helps make sure the treatment works well and keeps the veins from coming back.

feeder veins

  • Some spider veins come from deeper “feeder veins” that bring extra blood and pressure to the surface.

  • Fixing these deeper veins first helps the spider veins fade better and makes them less likely to come back.

Precise Sclerotherapy Technique

  • After fixing the deeper vein problems, we can treat the tiny spider veins you see on the skin.

  • A doctor gently injects a special medicine into these small veins.

  • This medicine makes the vein close up, and over time your body absorbs it.

  • The spider veins slowly fade away, and your skin looks clearer and healthier.

Enhancing Precision in Spider Vein Treatment
with Syris Magnification

  • Syris magnification is a special tool that helps the doctor see tiny veins better.

  • It uses bright light and zooming power to show small spider veins that are hard to see with just your eyes.

  • This helps the doctor find the “hidden” veins that might be causing the problem.

  • Because the doctor can see the veins clearly, the medicine can be put in the exact right spot.

  • This makes the treatment work better and helps your skin look smoother.

  • It also means less discomfort and fewer veins coming back later.

  • With Syris, the doctor can treat only the problem veins and avoid the healthy ones.

Achieving Greater Accuracy

  • Veinlite is a special tool that helps the doctor see veins under your skin more clearly.

  • It uses a bright ring of LED light to shine through the skin and show the “feeder veins” that cause spider veins.

  • These veins can be hard to see with just the eyes, but Veinlite makes them stand out.

  • This helps Dr. Gilles Laur aim the treatment exactly where it’s needed.

  • By treating these deeper veins first, your spider veins are less likely to come back.

  • This means better results, smoother skin, and a treatment that works for a longer time.

FAQ

Potentials Risks& Side Effects​

Possible Side Effects of Sclerotherapy 

  • You might get a little redness, swelling, or bruising where the tiny needle went in.

  • Sometimes the skin can feel a bit itchy or tender, but this usually goes away.

  • The treated veins might look a little darker for a short time before they fade.

Rare but More Serious Problems

  • A small blood clot can form in the treated vein (this is rare).

  • Very rarely, someone might have an allergic reaction to the medicine.

  • There’s a small chance of a tiny skin sore or a small air bubble that can make vision blurry for a moment — but this almost never happens.

How Effective is it?​

  • Sclerotherapy is really good at fixing spider veins.

  • About half to most of the treated veins (50–80%) can fade or disappear after each treatment.

  • Most people need 1 to 3 treatments to get the best results.

  • The medicine injected into the vein makes it close up, and then the body slowly absorbs it.

  • Many people feel better too — with less itching, burning, or discomfort.

  • You might start seeing changes in a few weeks, and the veins usually keep fading over a few months.

  • When deeper “feeder veins” are treated too, results can last even longer.

  • Wearing compression stockings and keeping your legs healthy can help the results stay great.
