Spider Veins - Sclerotherapy
Sclerotherapy: Say Goodbye to Unwanted Veins
At [Clinic Name], we understand how unwanted spider and varicose veins can affect your confidence. Under the expert care of Dr. Vanessa, our dedicated aesthetic doctor with a special interest in vascular treatments, we offer advanced sclerotherapy to help you achieve smoother, clearer-looking legs.
What is Sclerotherapy?
Sclerotherapy is a highly effective, minimally invasive medical procedure used to eliminate spider veins and smaller varicose veins. It involves injecting a specialized solution, called a sclerosant, directly into the affected vein. This solution gently irritates the vein lining, causing it to collapse and eventually fade from view as the body naturally absorbs it.
