Sclerotherapy

Sclerotherapy is a minimally invasive treatment that reduces varicose and spider veins by collapsing them with injections, allowing the body to absorb them over time.

About Sclerotherapy in Birmingham

Sclerotherapy is a minimally invasive procedure designed to diminish the appearance of varicose and spider veins, restoring smoother, clearer skin. During the treatment, a salt solution is injected through a fine needle directly into the vein, causing irritation to the vein’s lining. This process causes the vein to collapse and turn into scar tissue, which is eventually absorbed by the body and fades from view.

Once treated, the affected veins can no longer fill with blood, allowing blood flow to reroute through healthier veins. While you can resume normal activities immediately, avoiding strenuous exercise for 1-2 weeks and walking regularly is essential to aid healing.

Mild side effects such as itching, redness, or bruising around the injection site are common but typically resolve within days to weeks. Multiple sessions, spaced 6 to 8 weeks apart, may be required for optimal results. Sclerotherapy offers a safe, effective way to reduce unsightly veins and regain confidence in your appearance.

How it Works

A salt solution or sclerosant is injected directly into the vein using a fine needle.

The solution irritates the vein’s lining, causing it to swell, stick together, and block blood flow.

The treated vein collapses, turns into scar tissue, and is gradually absorbed by the body over time.

Blood flow is rerouted through healthier veins, improving circulation and reducing the appearance of varicose or spider veins.
