Smooth skin, free from unsightly veins – return to a natural and even leg appearance with sclerotherapy
Small, superficial blood vessels on the legs—such as spider naevi and fine red or bluish vessels—are common and can be considered cosmetically undesirable. Although these vessels are often medically harmless, they can make the skin appear uneven. They can be caused by a hereditary predisposition, hormonal influences, prolonged standing, or age-related changes in the vessel wall, among other factors.
A common and effective treatment method is sclerotherapy. In this procedure, a special liquid is injected into the blood vessel using a very fine needle. This liquid causes the blood vessel to close from the inside. The body then gradually clears away the treated blood vessel itself. In the weeks following the treatment, the blood vessels become increasingly less visible as a result.
The treatment is precise and is aimed at improving skin texture, while maintaining a natural result. Depending on the extent, multiple small vessels can be treated in one or a few sessions.
Following treatment, temporary mild redness, sensitivity, or discolouration may occur. This usually resolves on its own. The final result develops gradually, giving the skin a calmer and more even appearance.
Sclerotherapy therefore offers an effective and safe way to reduce unsightly superficial veins on the legs, with a natural-looking result as the primary goal.
