Sclerotherapy is a widely used medical procedure to remove “spider veins,” varicose veins, and other small visible veins, especially on the legs and face.
The treatment involves injecting a special solution into the affected vein using a fine needle, causing the vein to collapse, seal shut, and gradually disappear over time.
Although it is usually done for cosmetic reasons, it can also help reduce symptoms such as burning, swelling, or heaviness in the legs.
It is a quick, minimally invasive procedure that normally does not require surgery or hospitalization. In any case, medical approval is necessary before choosing this treatment option.
