Sclerotherapy is a proven technique for eliminating varicose veins and spider veins, providing an effective solution to improve the appearance of your legs. This treatment involves injecting a sclerosing solution directly into the affected veins, causing them to close and be naturally absorbed by the body.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"template":"","tax_treatments_categories":[117,118],"tax_treatments_concerns":[889,888],"acf":{"results_title":"","results":false,"results_description":"","results_pastille":"","picture_main":{"ID":15988,"id":15988,"title":"Sclerotherapie","filename":"Sclerotherapie.jpg","filesize":93529,"url":"https:\/\/medicart.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Sclerotherapie.jpg","link":"https:\/\/medicart.com\/en\/treatment\/varicose-veins-sclerotherapy\/sclerotherapie-2\/","alt":"","author":"36991","description":"","caption":"","name":"sclerotherapie-2","status":"inherit","uploaded_to":16248,"date":"2023-06-07 13:50:58","modified":"2023-06-07 13:50:58","menu_order":0,"mime_type":"image\/jpeg","type":"image","subtype":"jpeg","icon":"https:\/\/medicart.com\/wp-includes\/images\/media\/default.png","width":1065,"height":1065,"sizes":{"thumbnail":"https:\/\/medicart.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Sclerotherapie-150x150.jpg","thumbnail-width":150,"thumbnail-height":150,"medium":"https:\/\/medicart.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Sclerotherapie-300x300.jpg","medium-width":300,"medium-height":300,"medium_large":"https:\/\/medicart.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Sclerotherapie-768x768.jpg","medium_large-width":768,"medium_large-height":768,"large":"https:\/\/medicart.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Sclerotherapie-1024x1024.jpg","large-width":1024,"large-height":1024,"1536x1536":"https:\/\/medicart.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Sclerotherapie.jpg","1536x1536-width":1065,"1536x1536-height":1065,"2048x2048":"https:\/\/medicart.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Sclerotherapie.jpg","2048x2048-width":1065,"2048x2048-height":1065,"1:1_square":"https:\/\/medicart.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Sclerotherapie.jpg","1:1_square-width":1065,"1:1_square-height":1065,"1:2_vertical":"https:\/\/medicart.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Sclerotherapie-600x1065.jpg","1:2_vertical-width":600,"1:2_vertical-height":1065,"16:9_large":"https:\/\/medicart.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Sclerotherapie.jpg","16:9_large-width":1065,"16:9_large-height":1065,"3:4_vertical":"https:\/\/medicart.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Sclerotherapie.jpg","3:4_vertical-width":645,"3:4_vertical-height":645,"16:19_thumbnail":"https:\/\/medicart.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Sclerotherapie.jpg","16:19_thumbnail-width":510,"16:19_thumbnail-height":510}},"texte_principal":{"title":"Treat Varicose Veins, Spider Veins, and Rosacea Without Surgery Through Sclerotherapy","text":"
During a sclerotherapy procedure, a solution is injected into a varicose vein, causing it to close off and shrink into a thin line below the skin\u2019s surface. Blood then reroutes through normal veins. This process gradually eliminates larger varicose veins within one to three months, and smaller burst veins or rosacea within one to two weeks.<\/p>\n
For medium-sized varicose veins and spider veins, a simple saline solution injection is often sufficient. This mild solution may cause a harmless inflammatory response, which causes the medium-sized varicose veins or spider veins to disappear. Reticular veins (medium-sized veins) and injections for spider veins are usually treated after larger varicose veins.<\/p>\n
Almost all varicose veins can be treated with sclerotherapy. The larger, deeper varicose veins are injected before the smaller burst veins.<\/p>\n
Sclerotherapy can also be used to treat rosacea.<\/p>\n

The treatment is often comparable to a mosquito bite.

Generally, six to eight sessions are sufficient to achieve satisfactory results. However, some patients may notice improvements after two to three sessions, while others with more extensive varicose veins may require up to fifteen sessions or more. Each session lasts about 15 minutes and is tailored based on the response of the skin and veins being treated.<\/p>\n"},{"question":"Which varicose veins can be treated with sclerotherapy?","answer":" Sclerotherapy can treat a wide range of varicose veins, from the larger ones to the smaller ones. Larger, dilated veins can be treated with ultrasound-guided injection for precise targeting. In more complex cases, options like VenaSeal\u2122 (a tissue adhesive treatment) or endovenous laser treatment may be necessary. Small burst veins are effectively treated with sclerotherapy using saline solution injections.<\/p>\n"}],"faq_title":"FAQ"},"yoast_head":"\n
