Sclerotherapy

The majority of people who undergo Sclerotherapy will be cleared of varicosities or at least see good improvement. The number of treatments needed differs from patient to patient, depending on the extent of varicose and spider veins present. One to 3 treatments may be needed.

The best time to treat leg veins is in winter as supportive stockings are worn for a few days after treatment. For extremely thin leg veins, a vascular laser may be used. Because this is a medical procedure, it’s only performed by Dr Francois de Goede.

Discontinue aspirin and blood thinning drugs one week prior to the treatment and don’t shave your legs for three days before your appointment.
