During sclerotherapy, a special solution called a sclerosant is injected directly into the targeted vein. This causes the vein walls to become inflamed, swell, and seal shut, eventually fading from view as the body absorbs the closed vein. After the injection, pressure is applied and the area may be gently massaged to help distribute the solution.
The procedure is typically well tolerated, though some people may feel mild burning, itching, or tingling during treatment. For best results and comfort, consider scheduling your session between fall and early spring—this allows for easier healing and makes wearing compression stockings more convenient under cooler-weather clothing.
Sclerotherapy is a procedure that involves injecting a chemical solution directly into a varicose or spider vein. This solution irritates the vein lining, causing the walls to swell, stick together, and close off. Once the vein is sealed, blood is rerouted through healthier veins, and the treated vein gradually fades over a few weeks.
