Sclerotherapy

Suffering from varicose or spider veins? At HealthBay Aesthetics, we offer advanced sclerotherapy treatment as a safe, non-surgical solution to reduce the appearance of unwanted veins and restore smooth, healthy-looking legs.

Whether you’re dealing with cosmetic concerns or symptoms like swelling and aching, our expert aesthetic specialists are here to help with a personalized approach to vein treatment.

What is Sclerotherapy?

Spider veins and tiny varicose veins can be removed using a medical technique called sclerosing. A unique sclerosing solution is injected straight into the afflicted veins. The vein’s inner lining becomes irritated by this solution, which causes it to collapse and progressively disappear. Blood flow is naturally diverted to healthier veins as the body gradually reabsorbs the treated vein.

This treatment not only improves the cosmetic appearance of your legs but also alleviates discomfort such as swelling, aching, or cramping caused by varicose veins.

Benefits of Sclerotherapy

At HealthBay Aesthetics, we use the latest techniques to ensure effective results with minimal downtime. Sclerotherapy is a popular choice for treating superficial veins due to its benefits:

• Minimally invasive procedure
• Quick treatment time (usually under 30–45 minutes)
• No need for anesthesia or hospitalization
• Visible improvements within weeks
• Minimal side effects or discomfort
• Improved leg appearance and reduced symptoms

What to Expect During the Procedure

Sclerotherapy is typically performed as an outpatient procedure and takes about 30 to 45 minutes, depending on the number and size of veins being treated.

1. Consultation: During your initial visit, our aesthetic physician will assess your vein condition using a physical exam and, if necessary, imaging tests.

2. Injection: A fine needle is used to inject the sclerosing agent into the affected veins.

3. Compression: After the injection, compression is applied to the area to help the veins collapse and promote healing.

4. Recovery: Most patients can resume their regular activities on the same day, although some may be advised to avoid strenuous activities or sun exposure for a few days.

Post-Treatment Care

For best results, you may be required to:

• Wear compression stockings for several days post-treatment
• Avoid heavy exercise, hot baths, and direct sun exposure
• Follow up with your specialist to monitor the healing process

Treated veins typically fade within a few weeks, though some may take a few months to completely disappear. In some cases, multiple sessions may be needed for optimal results.
