MICROSCLEROTHERAPY

This is a safe and effective treatment that helps to eliminate varicose veins, spider veins and
slightly larger feeder veins (reticular veins).
DOWNTIME: Little to none. You’ll most likely be able to resume your schedule as usual.
TREATMENT TIME: 60-90mins
DISCOMFORT LEVEL: 5 out of 5

WHEN TO EXPECT RESULTS

• 3-6weeks, larger veins may require 3-4months
  HOW TO PREPARE FOR TREATMENT
• wash your legs with soap in the shower and avoid the use of leg lotions or moisturizers
  for 2 days
• Ensure that there is no fake tan on the legs, as this can conceal the location of the
  deeper veins which happens to be the focus of treatment.
• Warm clothes should be worn on the day of treatment to aid dilation of the veins.

WHAT TO EXPECT

• The medical practitioner gives you a rundown of what the procedure entails.
• You will need to lay down on the treatment bed while the treatment area is mapped
  out. A tiny needle is used to inject small amounts of sclerosant solution which acts to damage
  the lining of the diseased veins, causing them to collapse and clot off.
• Compression stockings would be worn over the injection sites to help maintain
  compression of the veins and absorb any ooze.
