Thread Vein treatment for Legs MICROSCLEROTHERAPY
|
About the treatment. Injection
(sclerosant) therapy is suitable for dermal flare veins (thread
veins, spider veins, broken veins) that are unsightly but cause
no symptoms. It works by making the vein wall stick to itself, thus
obliterating it. An extremely fine needle is used to perform the
injections, hence the term "microinjection".
At the clinic.
A small amount of sclerosant fluid is injected into the flare veins
at one or more site.
Minor discomfort may be experienced during injections but it is
rarely painful.
Usually several veins on one leg are treated per visit and repeat
injections will be required if both legs are affected or if you
have extensive flare veins. Initially, further injections will be
undertaken at weekly intervals. Subsequently, appointments may be
spaced out depending on progress, but the timing of repeat injections
is not essential. The treatment is continued until you are happy
with the cosmetic results.
What to expect after the injections.
After injection of flare veins an initial inflammatory reaction
is common with the overlying skin becoming red and raised. The veins
may initially appear more prominent and darker in colour. Often,
discolouration rather like a bruise surrounding the injected flares
develops. These changes resolve over a period of weeks as the flare
veins disperse and fade away. It is important to appreciate that
the full benefits of treatment may not be appreciated for around
6-8 weeks after treatment.

While most patients experience no problems after
injection of flare veins, a small number may experience temporary
discomfort, hardness or tenderness at the injection site.
