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 are treated per visit and repeat injections may be required if you have extensive flare / thread veins.
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.
