Q: How does Sclerotherapy work?

Sclerotherapy is a proven medical treatment and has been used since the 1930’s. The process uses a very fine needle to inject a sclerosing agent directly into the vein. This solution works to reroute the blood flow into healthier veins, forcing the lining of the thread vein to collapse and become absorbed by the body. Compressing the treated veins following treatment is often essential and your practitioner will make sure you are fitted with a suitable garment. Treatments are administered by Dr Nyla’s team of medical professionals at the Medispa clinics in Cheshire, at Medispa Alderley Edge, Liverpool and Mayfair in London. The outcome of the sclerotherapy treatment can be permanent, as once the vein has been dispersed, it will not return. However, it is important to note that this does not mean that thread veins (also known as spider veins or venous flares) are prevented from developing on other areas of the face or body.

Sclerotherapy is a treatment that can help to remove spider veins and varicose veins, thus restoring a more even tone to the skin. The experts at Dr Nyla understand how the appearance of irregularities that show on the skin, can be unwanted by those who are affected. To remove these lesions can restore a more aesthetically pleasing appearance and improve self-confidence.
