What is Sclerotherapy?
Sclerotherapy is a highly successful, minimally invasive procedure used for spider vein removal. During the treatment, a specialized solution known as sclerosant is injected directly into the affected veins using a very fine needle. This solution irritates the lining of the blood vessel, causing it to collapse and stick together. Eventually, the vessel is reabsorbed by the body and fades from view.
When performed by a skilled AMARA specialist, the procedure is typically quick, takes about 20 to 30 minutes, and does not require hospitalization or anesthesia. Patients can expect mild side effects, such as itching or bruising, but serious complications are rare. Post-procedure, individuals should wear compression stockings and avoid strenuous activities for a short period for best results.
