At SuperBloom Medical Spa, we are dedicated to improving not just your external appearance but also your overall well-being. With our comprehensive range of aesthetic and wellness treatments, we aim to help you achieve a harmonious balance between your inner and outer selves. One of our popular services is Sclerotherapy, a minimally invasive solution to treat the common but stubborn problem of varicose veins. Let’s delve a little deeper into this particular treatment and see how it can be a game-changer for your skincare routine.

What is Sclerotherapy?

Sclerotherapy is a medical procedure designed to treat varicose and spider veins, the twisted, enlarged veins that commonly appear on the legs. They are generally harmless but can cause discomfort and self-consciousness due to their unsightly appearance. In some people, varicose veins can lead to more serious health problems.

Sclerotherapy involves injecting a solution directly into the problematic veins, causing them to collapse and eventually fade away. The procedure is performed in-office and typically lasts between 30 minutes to an hour, making it a convenient yet effective treatment option.

How does Sclerotherapy work?

In Sclerotherapy, a sclerosant solution, such as saline, is injected into the vein. This solution irritates the lining of the vein, causing it to collapse, close up, and gradually disappear over time. This process diverts blood flow to healthier veins, improving overall circulation.

The procedure does not require anesthesia and is typically painless, although some patients may experience minor discomfort. Multiple sessions may be needed depending on the severity of the veins, with noticeable results typically seen within a few weeks.

The Benefits of Sclerotherapy

While there are several treatments available for varicose and spider veins, Sclerotherapy offers several benefits that make it an attractive option:

Minimally Invasive:

Sclerotherapy is a non-surgical procedure that can be performed in a doctor's office. It requires no anesthesia and has minimal downtime, allowing patients to return to their normal activities soon after treatment.

Effective and Long-term Results:

Sclerotherapy has been proven to effectively treat varicose and spider veins, with the majority of patients seeing significant improvement. Once a vein has been successfully treated with Sclerotherapy, it is unlikely to reappear.

Quick and Painless:

Most Sclerotherapy sessions take less than an hour, and patients typically report minimum discomfort. 

Improves Appearance and Comfort:

By eliminating unsightly veins, Sclerotherapy not only improves the appearance of your legs but can also alleviate symptoms such as aching, swelling, burning, and night cramps.

Post-treatment Care

After the procedure, patients are typically advised to wear compression stockings and to avoid strenuous activities for a few days. Sun exposure to the treated areas should also be limited to prevent dark spots from forming. Individuals who follow their post-treatment care plan typically see the best results.

Is Sclerotherapy Right for You?

While Sclerotherapy is a safe and effective treatment for most people with varicose and spider veins, it may not be suitable for everyone. It's important to discuss your medical history, current health status, and expectations with a professional to determine if this is the right treatment for you.
