When veins are close to the surface, you may start noticing they stick out aesthetically. If you stand in the mirror and see twisted enlarged veins, you most likely have varicose veins. Effective sclerotherapy leg vein treatment helps to reduce and mitigate the appearance of varicose and spider veins. Varicose veins are caused when there is increased blood pressure in your veins. Most commonly, adults will discover varicose veins in their legs.
How Does Sclerotherapy Work?
When you walk, stand, or run, blood moves through your veins. If the pressure intensifies, it can cause the veins near the surface of your skin to become enlarged. Sclerotherapy or the treatment of varicose veins is a relatively non-invasive procedure. Medical professionals will inject a solution directly into your veins. The solution scars the vein. This causes the blood to be redirected into a healthier vein. When blood is redirected into a healthier vein, the collapsed vein is reabsorbed into your body’s tissues and fades.
How Quickly Will I See Results?
Sclerotherapy leg vein treatment works quickly for superficial spider or varicose veins. It is one of the most popular treatments because of its effectiveness. You will see results within a few weeks. Typically, in one to two sclerotherapy varicose veins treatments, the veins will disappear. In more severe cases, you may need more than two treatments to see results. Spider and varicose veins may return. You will need additional sclerotherapy for any new spider or varicose vein development.
