Discover the transformative effects of Sclerotherapy at La Belle Medical Aesthetic Clinic in Quispamsis, New Brunswick. Sclerotherapy is a medical aesthetics procedure that effectively treats varicose veins and spider veins. This non-surgical treatment involves injecting a solution directly into the vein, causing it to scar and reroute blood through healthier veins. The collapsed vein is reabsorbed into local tissue and eventually fades, leaving your legs looking smoother and rejuvenated.
Sclerotherapy offers comprehensive benefits to improve the appearance and health of your legs:
Sclerotherapy is effective in addressing various vein-related conditions, including:
Spider Veins
Spider veins are small, thin veins that lie close to the skin's surface and often appear red, blue, or purple. They resemble a spider's web or tree branches commonly found on the legs and face. Sclerotherapy effectively treats spider veins by injecting a solution that causes these veins to collapse and be reabsorbed by the body, leading to a clearer, more even skin tone.
Reticular Veins
Reticular veins, also known as feeder veins, are blue or purple veins that can be seen beneath the skin. They are larger than spider veins but smaller than varicose veins and often feed into spider veins. Sclerotherapy can target and treat these veins, improving the overall appearance of your legs and preventing the formation of new spider veins.
What is sclerotherapy, and how does it work?
Sclerotherapy is a medical aesthetics procedure used to treat varicose and spider veins. During the treatment, a solution is injected directly into the affected veins. This solution causes the veins to scar and collapse, redirecting blood flow to healthier veins. Over time, the collapsed veins are absorbed by the body and fade away, resulting in improved skin appearance and reduced vein-related symptoms.
What conditions can sclerotherapy treat?
Sclerotherapy effectively treats various vein-related conditions, including:
● Spider veins: Small, web-like veins that appear on the surface of the skin.● Reticular veins: Blue or purple veins beneath the skin's surface.
Is sclerotherapy painful?
Sclerotherapy is generally well-tolerated by most patients. The procedure involves using a very fine needle to inject the solution into the veins, which may cause minimal discomfort or a slight stinging sensation. Some patients may experience mild cramping or a burning sensation during the injection, but this is typically short-lived. Post-treatment, some mild bruising or soreness may occur, but these side effects usually resolve quickly.
How many sclerotherapy sessions are needed to see results?
The number of sclerotherapy sessions required varies depending on the extent and severity of the vein condition being treated. While some patients may see significant improvement after just one session, others may need multiple treatments to achieve optimal results. Each session is typically spaced several weeks apart to allow the veins to heal and for the body to absorb the treated veins.
What should I expect during the recovery period after sclerotherapy?
Recovery from sclerotherapy is usually quick, with minimal downtime. Patients are encouraged to walk and move around shortly after the procedure to promote blood flow and healing. Compression stockings may be recommended for a few days or weeks to support the treated veins and improve results. Most patients can resume their normal activities immediately, although avoiding strenuous exercise and prolonged standing or sitting for the first 24-48 hours is advised. Any mild bruising or soreness should resolve within a few days to weeks.
