A.This treatment is safe, however like all similar treatments, it does not come without some risk. Your practitioner will discuss the treatment and its risks with you during your consultation.
Microsclerotherapy is the easy and effective treatment used to treat small thread veins, also known as spider veins in the legs. Whilst varicose veins cannot be treated with this procedure, it is very effective for the common concern that sees blue, purple and red veins occur, usually on the back of the legs, calves and inner thighs.
This treatment uses a fine needle to carefully inject a small amount of Scleroscent into the vein. Doing so damages the vein walls, and due to its irritation, after compression it eventually collapses and is permanently diminished.
