What is involved with sclerotherapy ?

Injections : Painless medicines like Asclera and sts irritant solutions that are injected into the veins using tiny needles (30 or 32 gauge) which are smaller than diabetic needles.... Really tiny pinch like feelings- this solution irritates and scars or thickens the endothelium layer of the vein so it can close with 2-3 sessions. When this thickening occurs, you no longer see blood through the skin.

Injections: Sclerotherapy is simply using a medication and injecting it into something (usually veins) to close or destroy it.

Injections: As drs. Morrison and hansen have said, sclerotherapy involves injecting a chemical solution into veins with very small needles. The purpose of the injection is to cause damage to the inside of the vein. This, in turn, causes the vein to close up and seal off. As a result, the body absorbs the vein and it disappears.

How sclerotherapy: First you will lie down to reduce the pressure in leg veins. The skin will be cleansed. Injection of sclerosing solution with tiny needles is done into veins to be closed down. Most modern solutions are almost painless. The legs may be wrapped or stockings applied before standing. You are encouraged to walk alot. Since not all veins will close 100%, repeat session(s) are necessary, 4-6 weeks apart.
