Spider Veins - Sclerotherapy
Sclerotherapy: Say Goodbye to Unwanted Veins
At Studio Aesthetica, 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.
