Microsclerotherapy is a leading technique to treat spider veins or thread veins across the legs and body.

Microsclerotherapy is a leading technique to treat spider veins or thread veins across the legs and body. These veins affect up to 88% of women and 79% of men during their . It’s one of the most popular and ways to eliminate thread veins and a specialised diluted liquid into thread veins to shrink and destroy them over time. Patients can have the treatment on a walk-in, walk-out basis and can usually leave the clinic the very same day.

Microsclerotherapy small thread veins or spider veins. These veins are tiny veins of less than 1-2mm in diameter. They typically branch out in a spider-web-like just below the surface of the skin. known as "telangiectasia," these spider veins are minute blood vessels that live in the skin’s dermis. Thread veins occur when these superficial blood vessels become enlarged or dilated, resulting in their red, blue or purple appearance. Microsclerotherapy uses a tiny needle to inject these veins with diluted of sclerosant, a specialised liquid that destroys them. This is the same chemical used in foam sclerotherapy vein treatments, but in a more diluted form.

Microsclerotherapy treats thread veins across the legs and body. For patients who have thread veins on the face, we recommend treatments like laser and IPL therapy. We also offer specific removal and . Body areas above a patient’s heart are much better suited to heat-based treatments like IPL, or Cutera .

Microsclerotherapy is a safe, and procedure with a great success rate. On average, up to 80% of thread veins are less after 2-3 sessions spaced 6 weeks apart. As a leading thread veins treatment, it has a range of key benefits:

This is why we advise patients to expect results after having a few . After 2 or 3 treatment sessions, most patients will notice a 70 – 80% visible . The best visible results tend to show from 2 to 3 months after your final treatment. After a detailed assessment, your consultant vascular surgeon will advise how many sessions you will need.

A microsclerotherapy involves a with a qualified followed by the itself.

The consultation is a part of the . During this appointment, an experienced will assess the state of your thread veins using our . This 3D gives our a live visual of the inner structure of your veins. It allows them to see how the blood is flowing through your veins and the areas they need to treat to fix the . It is for the surgeon to conduct this so they can firstly if there is an underlying cause for the of your thread veins.

Independent research has shown that approximately 9 out of 10 people (89%) who have thread veins on their legs may be having the wrong treatment conducted if they haven’t had a duplex scan. When duplex was utilised on patients who believed they only had spider veins or leg thread veins, research in in 2001 that in 89% of cases, concealed veins were the skin.

This is why this scan is so important. By using it, we can identify whether additional deeper varicose veins are feeding the thread veins. In such cases, we can recommend to repair deeper varicose veins as well, like and EVLA.

This maximises results because if we do not fix any causes, then thread veins are likely to return.

The consultant will also the treatment in detail during the consultation. This enables you to fully the details of the procedure in addition to its results.

Once the consultation has taken place, we treat the thread veins with chemical "sclerosant" . This involves tiny of an irritating substance into the superficial thread veins that sit just below the skin’s surface. A very fine needle is used to do this, and we use a specialised sclerosant that contains a small quantity of local to minimise pain and discomfort.

The is designed to the inner vein walls so that they become inflamed and sticky. This process causes the vein walls to stick together and close up, which blocks the vein channel to any more blood and within it. By flushing out blood from the affected vein and preventing fresh blood from entering the channel, the thread vein will disappear in an instant.

While it can be challenging to achieve 100% visible of thread veins, we take a holistic approach at The Private Clinic to visibly reduce the while treating the potential causes. This gives our patients the best of success, with the vast of our patients seeing excellent visual results between 2 to 3 months after their final thread vein .

Compression stockings and should be worn continuously for a minimum of 21 days and nights. This is to adequate and . During this phase, your body will turn the dying vein into scar tissue, at which point, blood will no longer enter back into it. By compression stockings, this restorative process can take place without interruption.

If a patient the stockings before this time, blood may flow back into treated veins, causing blood clots and undesirable brown stains. This skin may fade over time, but it can sometimes be . This is why we strongly advise our to follow this aftercare strictly.
