What is Sclerotherapy?

Scelorotherapy is a treatment whereby the injection of a medicine into blood vessels causes them to shrink, improving their appearance and, in the case of varicose veins, making them less painful.

What happens during your consultation?

Our aesthetics nurse, Ros Bown, will carefully listen to your concerns and discuss with you the best course of treatment to attain your desired goals. Each stage of the process will be fully explained to you during this initial consultation and throughout your treatment plan.

During the treatment

Whilst lying down, the affected area will be thoroughly cleaned before a small needle is inserted into the vein. An irritating solution is injected which causes the vein to reduce in size.

After the treatment

You should remain active to prevent blood clots from forming and sunlight should be avoided which may cause dark spots to form on the treated area.
