Sclerotherapy
Get rid of unsightly thread (spider) veins
Thread Veins
Up to 60% of adults are affected by cosmetically unsightly Thread Veins or Spider Veins on the face, legs or other parts of the body. They can develop as a result of pregnancy, standing or sitting for long periods of time, weight gain or simply due to ageing and genetics.
Thread veins can be unsightly but don’t feel you are stuck with them. The two main treatments for thread veins are micro-sclerotherapy and laser therapy.
Sclerotherapy is the treatment of choice for thread veins on the legs. Sclerotherapy involves injecting a liquid agent (sclerosing agent) through a tiny needle directly into the thread vein. The injections cause the veins to collapse and fade harmlessly. With just a few treatments, the skin on your legs could lose that "road map" look, and you could once again feel more confident about bearing your legs.
