What to Expect
What are thread veins?
Thread veins, also known as spider veins or telengectasis, are typically seen as prominent vessels – most often on the lower legs. This is a harmless condition which can be easily treated to restore a normal appearance to the skin.
Thread veins are more common in women, after pregnancy and with increasing age.
These small veins can be successfully treated with an injection, known as sclerotherapy.
What is sclerotherapy?
Sclerotherapy is a form of treatment utilised across the UK by specialist vascular surgeons to safely and effectively treat thread veins by injecting a special chemical which destroys the thread veins and so they are no longer visible.
Depending on the area affected you may need only a single session whereas larger or more significantly spread veins will require more than one session. Our surgeon will perform an ultrasound scan (at no extra cost) during the consultation to better understand your specific requirements.
Will I be awake for the procedure?
Sclerotherapy is minimally invasive and does not require a general anaesthetic. Therefore, you will remain awake throughout the procedure - which is carried out under local anaesthetic with minimal downtime allowing you to return to your routine.
Will sclerotherapy work for me?
Depending on the size of the thread veins and the ultrasound findings, you will be advised on suitability for the treatment - which for the vast majority of patients is an injection that destroys the veins.
The number of treatment sessions required will vary from patient to patient depending on the extent of the veins. Often patients will require 2 or more sessions over a period of time to see maximal results.
Some larger veins may require a different approach, such as foam sclerotherapy or the use of a laser treatment (EVLA).
