Sclerotherapy

Sclerotherapy treats spider veins and small varicose veins by injecting a sclerosant (e.g., polidocanol or sodium tetradecyl sulfate) directly into the vein, causing endothelial damage, fibrosis and vessel closure. Cutis Hospital’s vein specialists use ultrasound guidance and microfoam techniques to target veins precisely.

Overview

After mapping veins, a fine needle delivers sclerosant into the lumen. Compression stockings are applied post-procedure to promote vein collapse. Multiple sessions spaced 4–6 weeks eliminate cosmetic and symptomatic veins. Ultrasound-guided foam sclerotherapy treats larger truncal veins.

Spider veins affect up to 60% of women and 40% of men. At Cutis Hospital, sclerotherapy offers quick, minimally invasive vein closure with excellent cosmetic results. Ambulatory procedure—patients resume normal activities immediately with compression.

What is sclerotherapy?

Sclerotherapy is a medical procedure that treats varicose veins and spider veins, usually on your legs. Your healthcare provider uses a needle to inject a special solution into your varicose vein or spider vein. This chemical solution irritates your blood vessel lining, making it expand, stick together and form a scar. This closes off your vein, making it look and feel better.

How is sclerotherapy performed?

Sclerotherapy is performed by injecting a special solution directly into unwanted varicose or spider veins with a fine needle, causing the veins to collapse and fade over time. The procedure typically takes about 30–45 minutes, with mild discomfort possible during the injections. Patients can return to their regular activities soon after, but are advised to wear compression stockings for a few days to aid healing.
