SCLEROTHERAPY
Don’t let spider veins keep you from shorts or skirts!
What is sclerotherapy?
Sclerotherapy is a non-surgical method of removing the appearance of spider veins in the legs with injections of a chemical solution known as a ‘sclerosing agent’. These treatments are quick and virtuously painless with very little downtime.
Spider veins can occur in both men and women. You may need more that one treatment depending on the amount of spider veins.
What happens after my treatment?
Walking is fine immediately after the treatment
Avoid jogging, swimming or other high impact physical activities for 7-10 days after treatment
Sun exposure must be limited for 2-4 weeks after the treatment. If necessary to go into the sun, use SPF 30 or greater at all times.
Wear compression stockings for 72 hours and then during the day while on feet for up to two weeks.
Any form of heat must be limited for 24 hours after the treatment such as saunas or hot baths
Stay hydrated and limit salt, and alcohol intake to reduce excess swelling.
