Sclerotherapy (Medical Injection)
for Varicose Veins
A medical procedure where a sclerosant solution is injected into varicose veins, causing them to close and fade over weeks.
How it works
Sclerosant chemicals irritate the venous endothelium, causing inflammation, thrombosis, and fibrotic closure of the treated vessel, which is gradually absorbed by the body.
What to watch for
Requires medical administration. Multiple sessions often needed. Side effects include bruising and brown discolouration. Suitable for superficial varicosities; not all vein types.
