Sclerotherapy is an effective, non-surgical method for treating venous insufficiency.
The procedure involves injecting a special solution—known as a sclerosing agent—directly into the affected vein. This causes the vessel to close and gradually disappear. Sclerotherapy successfully treats both larger varicose veins (such as the great and small saphenous veins) and smaller vascular lesions, commonly referred to as spider veins.
It is performed on an outpatient basis and does not require hospitalization.

The treatment is suitable for both women and men, and may also be performed as a preventive measure.
STEP I: Skin cleansing and disinfection
STEP II: Vein mapping under ultrasound guidance
STEP III: Injection of the sclerosing agent into the vessel
STEP IV: Application of dressings and compression stocking, followed by post-treatment instructions
Sclerotherapy works by closing off diseased veins, leading to the gradual disappearance of varicose and spider veins. The treatment improves the appearance of the legs, reduces swelling and the sensation of heaviness, and helps slow the progression of chronic venous insufficiency. Results typically become noticeable after a few sessions, with full effects visible once the complete treatment series is finished.
The procedure is contraindicated for pregnant or breastfeeding women. Contraindications also include active deep vein thrombosis, allergies to the ingredients, and the presence of malignant diseases. The treatment should not be performed in cases of active infection.

Sclerotherapy is not painful. Most patients experience only mild discomfort or a slight stinging sensation when the solution is injected.
Sclerotherapy is mainly used for larger, visible venous vessels: “spider veins” and small varicose veins on the legs. It involves injecting a special solution into the vessel, causing it to close.
Laser vein removal is best suited for small, superficial blood vessels – especially on the face. The laser closes the vessel without puncturing the skin.
The choice of method depends on the location, diameter, and depth of the vessels, which is why a consultation with a specialist is necessary before the procedure.
Yes, sclerotherapy is very well suited for treating every type of varicose vein; however, medical qualification by a doctor is always essential.
Yes, new changes may appear because the procedure removes existing varicose veins but does not eliminate the predisposition to their formation. Lifestyle, genetics, and other factors may lead to the development of new vessels in the future, which is why prevention and regular check-ups are recommended.
Sclerotherapy can be performed at any time of year, including summer. The exception is days when the temperature exceeds 28 degrees Celsius. In such cases, we contact the patient to reschedule the appointment.
Yes, wearing compression stockings is always recommended after sclerotherapy. They support the healing process, improve circulation, and increase the effectiveness of the treatment. In addition, you should keep moving immediately after the procedure, for example by walking. It is important not to sit down to work at a desk, on the sofa in front of the TV, etc.
