Veins: Sclerotherapy and Laser 1064

Sclerotherapy is a popular treatment for removing spider veins and varicose veins.

Spider veins and varicose veins may be inherited. An estimated 40% of the population suffers from varicose veins. Aging can also be a negative factor because over time the vein walls lose their elasticity and are degraded. Prolonged sitting or standing in addition to obesity is among the possible causes.

During the procedure of sclerotherapy, a sclerosing solution is injected into the vein through a micro-needle. The sclerosing solution causes the vein to blanch (turn white), then gradually disappear. A typical treatment may last between 15 to 20 minutes and consists of several injections. By Sclerotherapy we can eliminate the need for an invasive surgical procedure.

The complete correction of the treated area is not expected with the first treatment. In most cases, between 50-70% of the treated vessels will disappear altogether.

Sclerotherapy not only makes the legs look more attractive but also improves the circulation of the limbs. The reduction and elimination of these veins allows blood flow to continue and also helps to minimize pain or fatigue associated with these.
