SCLEROTHERAPY

Clearer Legs.
Confident You.

Sclerotherapy is a well-established, minimally invasive treatment used to reduce the appearance and symptoms of varicose and spider veins.

During the procedure, a specially formulated medicine is carefully injected into the targeted vein. The medicine irritates the inner lining of the vein, causing its walls to close and gradually seal together.

Once the treated vein is closed, blood naturally redirects through healthier veins. Over time, the treated vein is absorbed by the body and becomes progressively less visible.

Minimally Invasive

Performed through a small injection without major surgical incisions.

Targeted Approach

Treatment is directed precisely toward the unwanted veins.

Minimal Downtime

Most patients can return to their usual routine relatively quickly.

WHY SCLEROTHERAPY

A simpler approach to
unwanted veins.

Sclerotherapy has been used for decades as an effective treatment for selected superficial veins. It can be used for spider veins as well as certain varicose veins, depending on their size, location and underlying venous condition.

Precisely delivered into the targeted vein

ABOUT THE TREATMENT

Precise treatment for
unwanted veins.

Liquid sclerotherapy involves carefully injecting a specialized chemical solution into the targeted vein through a very fine needle.

The solution works on the inner lining of the vein, encouraging the vessel to close. Blood can then naturally redirect through healthier veins while the treated vessel gradually becomes less visible.

Benefits

Simple and minimally invasive procedure
Minimal discomfort for most patients
Little interruption to daily activities
Can improve both appearance and symptoms
Effective for appropriately selected veins

Best Suited For

Spider veins
Reticular veins
Selected superficial veins
Patients looking for a non-surgical option

Treatment Notes

Injection points depend on vein size and location
More than one session may sometimes be required
Sessions are commonly spaced several weeks apart

IMPORTANT CONSIDERATION

Understanding the treatment limitations

Mild skin pigmentation can occur after treatment in some patients. Using an appropriate concentration of the sclerosing solution can help reduce this risk, although additional sessions may sometimes be needed. Liquid sclerotherapy is generally better suited to smaller superficial veins; larger veins may have a greater chance of reopening and may require a different treatment approach.

THE TECHNIQUE

Foam sclerotherapy uses a sclerosant solution that is transformed into a fine, stable foam by mixing it with a gas. The foam is then introduced into the vein, often under ultrasound guidance, allowing the treatment to be directed precisely toward the affected vessel.

Because the foam remains in contact with the vein wall for longer, it can provide effective exposure of the sclerosant and encourage the vein to close.

THE PROCEDURE

How foam treatment
is delivered.

A carefully controlled process helps the treatment reach the targeted vein with precision.

STEP ONE

Foam Injection Via Catheter

The treatment is carefully introduced into the targeted vein using an appropriate technique.

STEP TWO

Foam Preparation

The sclerosant is prepared into a foam suitable for controlled delivery.

STEP THREE

Targeted Vein Injection

The foam is delivered directly into the targeted vein to encourage closure.

KEY ADVANTAGES

Why foam
sclerotherapy works

✓
The foam remains in contact with the vein wall for longer.
✓
Provides greater exposure of the sclerosant to the targeted vessel.
✓
Can be useful for selected larger superficial varicose veins.
✓
Usually involves limited downtime when appropriately performed.

CLINICAL CONSIDERATION

Understanding
the limitations

Foam sclerotherapy can be an effective option for selected patients, but treatment choice depends on vein size, anatomy and the overall condition of the venous system.

Compared with treatments such as laser ablation or radiofrequency ablation, treated veins may have a greater chance of reopening. Some patients may therefore require additional treatment.

IMPORTANT

Treatment should be selected after proper evaluation.

Foam sclerotherapy is not suitable for every type of varicose vein. A vascular assessment helps determine whether foam treatment or another procedure is more appropriate for the individual vein pattern.

04 — SAFETY

Possible but uncommon
risks

If sclerosant enters deeper veins in significant amounts, there can be a risk of deep vein thrombosis.

Temporary light-headedness or chest tightness may occasionally occur for a short period.

Rarely, certain sclerosants can cause skin injury if they are inadvertently injected into surrounding tissue or a small artery.

01HOW IT WORKS

Target the vein.
Let the body do the rest.

A specialized solution such as Polidocanol may be injected directly into the selected spider vein using a very fine needle.

The sclerosant acts on the inner lining of the vessel, causing the vein to close. Over time, the treated vessel is naturally broken down and becomes progressively less visible.

Treatment is selected according to the size, location and appearance of the veins.

THE INJECTION

Liquid Sclerosant Treatment

A specialized solution is carefully injected into the targeted spider vein, initiating the process that causes the vessel to close and gradually fade.

VEIN CLOSURE

Gradual Vein Fibrosis

The sclerosant affects the inner lining of the vein, triggering a controlled healing response that leads to fibrosis and eventual closure.

✓

MINIMALLY INVASIVE APPROACH

Designed to improve both appearance and comfort.

Sclerotherapy can provide an effective option for appropriately selected spider veins while avoiding major surgery and usually requiring little interruption to everyday activities.

WHY EXPERTISE MATTERS

Personalised treatment,
not a one-size-fits-all approach.

✓

Thorough evaluation before treatment

✓

Procedure selected according to vein anatomy

✓

Combination of techniques when clinically required

✓

Focus on safe and sustainable treatment outcomes
