Microsclerotherapy Vein Treatment

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

is a leading 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 lifetimes. It’s one of the most and effective ways to eliminate thread veins and a specialised diluted liquid into thread veins to shrink and destroy them over time. can have the treatment on a walk-in, walk-out basis and can usually leave the treatment clinic the very same day.

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

Microsclerotherapy treats surface thread veins across the legs and body. For who have thread veins on the face, we recommend treatments like laser and IPL therapy. We also offer specific and treatments. Body areas above a patient’s heart are much better suited to heat-based treatments like IPL, Regenlite or Cutera . However, when it comes to areas of thread veins below the heart, Microsclerotherapy is the most preferable option.

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

Due to the nature of thread veins, it is often difficult to the complete of each and every thread with just one treatment. This is why we advise patients to expect treatment results after having a few sessions. After 2 or 3 treatment sessions, most will notice a 70 – 80% visible reduction. The best tend to show from 2 to 3 months after your final treatment. After a detailed assessment, your vascular will advise how many sessions you will need.

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

The is a part of the microsclerotherapy procedure. During this appointment, an experienced surgeon 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 through your damaged veins and the areas they need to treat to fix the problem. It is for the vascular surgeon to conduct this so they can firstly understand if there is an underlying cause for the of your thread veins.

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 ultrasound scan. When specialised duplex was on who believed they only had spider veins or leg thread veins, research in Australia in 2001 revealed that in 89% of cases, concealed veins were discovered 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 patient results because if we do not fix any underlying causes, then thread veins are likely to return.

The will also explain the treatment in detail during the . This you to fully understand the details of the procedure in addition to its results.

Once the has taken place, we treat the identified thread veins with "sclerosant" injections. This involves injecting tiny amounts of an substance into the 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 of local to pain and discomfort.

The sclerosant mixture is to irritate the inner vein walls so that they become inflamed and sticky. This causes the vein walls to stick together and close up, which blocks the vein channel to prevent any more blood pooling and collecting within it. By out blood from the affected vein channel and fresh blood from the channel, the thread vein will visually in an instant.

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

Your clinician will immediately apply pressure to the veins to blood from flowing back into them. bandages and tape will also be applied to safely secure the treated veins and keep the blood out. stockings will also aid the healing process. 

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

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

As with all medical procedures, there is a risk of side effects and potential complications. In addition to potential skin discolouration, the treated area may feel sore and itchy for a few days after . However, can use medications to minimise these side effects should they occur. It is also completely normal for bruising to happen at the site. If your treatment area is large and the surgeon needs to inject multiple thread veins in one session, then the may be extensive and may take several weeks to completely resolve.

In some instances, thread veins may also appear worse or darker after the sclerosant injection, but this often fades over time, patients with clearer and improved skin once the process matures. Most of the patients we see have minimal side and enjoy improved results after 2 or 3 treatment sessions.
