The benefits of a sclerotherapy treatment include:
Sclerotherapy is a non-surgical treatment, which means a less invasive procedure so that you can get back to your life and don’t have to deal with the recovery times that come after surgeries. The procedure is purely done through injection, and it is used to treat a variety of blood lymph vessel disorders.
This includes varicose veins and spider veins. The injected solution is known as a sclerosant, and it is directly injected into the offending blood vessel by a medical professional. It irritates the vessel, which causes it to swell, cutting off the blood flow so that the vessel shrinks.
Sometimes, a numbing agent can be provided for the treatment to help ease any discomfort felt. However, you should speak to the team first as you may need to avoid the use of certain lotions and oils before coming in for treatment.
On the affected area, redness can be observed after the treatment. Scabs may also form. But there is no need to worry. These are small and will fall off on their own during the healing period.
Usually, the side effects are quite minimal. You are likely to experience some bruising, redness, and swelling around the treated area for a few days after. It may also be a little sensitive or even painful during this time. Some develop temporary blood vessels that vanish after a few days.
If you experience any burning sensations, it is best to call your doctor for advice as this could be an allergic reaction to the treatment. In very rare cases, you may also experience blood clots which should be treated urgently. Any tightness in the chest or dizziness after a sclerotherapy treatment should be seen to urgently.
