Microsclerotherapy

Microsclerotherapy is a leading technique 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 popular and effective ways to eliminate surface thread veins and involves injecting a specialised diluted liquid into thread veins to shrink and destroy them over time.

Microsclerotherapy destroys small thread veins or spider veins. These unsightly veins are tiny prominent veins of less than 1-2mm in diameter. They typically branch out in a spider-web-like pattern 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 vessels become enlarged 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 specialised liquid that destroys them.
