Treating varicose veins with sclerotherapy
Your vein is pricked with a fine needle and a substance is injected which blocks the vein. Only a small quantity of product is used and only small veins are treated in this way. Also, this method does not treat the underlying condition and is mainly used for aesthetic reasons.
This procedure is performed in the outpatient department and several sessions are often required before most of the disfiguring veins are hidden.
