How Does Sclerotherapy Work?

Sclerotherapy involves injecting a specialised solution directly into the targeted vein. This solution causes the vein walls to collapse and eventually be absorbed by the body, leading to a clearer and smoother appearance. Over time, blood naturally reroutes to healthier veins, improving circulation in the treated area.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Sclerotherapy A Permanent Solution For Visible Veins?

Sclerotherapy provides long-lasting results, as treated veins are permanently closed and gradually absorbed by the body. However, new veins may develop over time, especially if there are underlying factors that contribute to vein formation.

How soon will I see results after treatment?

Smaller veins may begin to fade within 3-6 weeks, while larger veins can take up to 3-4 months to fully disappear. Multiple sessions may be recommended for optimal results, depending on the size and number of veins.

Are there any special aftercare instructions following sclerotherapy?

Yes, Dr. Salim may advise wearing compression stockings for a few days post-treatment to support healing and improve results. Avoid strenuous exercise, hot baths, and direct sun exposure on the treated area for at least 48 hours to minimise swelling and promote recovery.

Is sclerotherapy painful?

Sclerotherapy is generally well-tolerated, with most patients experiencing only mild discomfort, similar to a small pinprick or slight stinging sensation. Dr. Salim takes extra care to ensure your comfort throughout the procedure.
