Micro sclerotherapy is a minimally invasive procedure that involves injecting a solution, known as a sclerosant, into the spider or thread veins.
This solution irritates the lining of the veins, causing them to collapse and ultimately disappear from view. The procedure is quick and typically takes 10-20minutes depending on how many vessels you would like to treat.
Why Consider Micro Sclerotherapy?
Micro sclerotherapy is a popular treatment for individuals with spider or thread veins because it is:
- Non-invasive: There are no surgical incisions, general anaesthesia, or lengthy recoveries associated with the procedure. There is only 1 injection with a smallest micro needle per vessel.
- Safe: The sclerosant solution used is safe and has been proven effective in treating spider and thread veins.
- Effective: Most patients report seeing significant improvement in the appearance of their legs within immediately after a treatment.
- Affordable: Compared to more invasive procedures like surgery, micro sclerotherapy is relatively affordable.
What to Expect During a Micro Sclerotherapy procedure?
Before the procedure, Dr Paulina will examine your legs to determine the extent of the spider or thread veins. Once the extent of the veins is determined, she will inject a small amount of the sclerosant using a fine needle into each vein.
After the injection, you may experience a slight burning or stinging sensation that typically subsides after a few minutes. You will be able to leave the clinic immediately after the procedure and can resume your daily activities immediately. However, it is advisable to avoid strenuous exercises and long periods of standing or sitting for 24 hours after the treatment.
Conclusion: Micro sclerotherapy is a safe and effective treatment for spider and thread veins. It is a non-invasive procedure that can be performed within the clinic, and patients can resume their regular activities immediately after the treatment.
The procedure is affordable and has proven to be effective in eliminating spider and thread veins. If you are considering micro sclerotherapy, it is essential to consult a doctor with experience in the procedure to help you achieve the desired results.
