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.
Requires medical administration. Multiple sessions often needed. Side effects include bruising and brown discolouration. Suitable for superficial varicosities; not all vein types.
Medical guidance
This remedy requires a prescription or pharmacist consultation in Australia. Speak to your GP or pharmacist before use.

“Some improvement but not as dramatic as I hoped. Might need longer to see full benefit. Still continuing.”
