How does it work?
Sclerotherapy remains the standard vein treatment by which all other methods are judged. A liquid medication is placed directly inside the vein using several tiny injections. The solution causes the walls of the vein to become irritated and then "sticky". By using a wrap around compression of the leg, either by a bandage or a fitted compression stocking, the vein walls can be squeezed together. A small blood clot will then form inside the vein itself, sealing it off so that blood no longer can flow through it. The closed vein is broken down over weeks to months. It is reabsorbed by the body through a natural process until it is no longer as visible. These veins are not necessary for proper circulation. Their absence is not harmful to the body.

How is it administered?
More than one treatment is usually necessary. The actual number of treatments you will need depends on the type, size and location of the veins to be treated, and how long they have been there.

Any quoted cost is an estimate, and can vary according to your needs. Individual pricing for any medical treatment will be discussed at the time of your complimentary consultation.
