What does it involve?After a medical consultation with Nurse Lee, you will be asked to sit on the bed, the effected areas cleansed & images taken. Sclerotherapy involves injecting a solution directly into the vein that feeds the spider veins. The sclerotherapy solution causes the vein to scar, forcing blood to reroute through healthier veins. The collapsed vein is reabsorbed into local tissue and eventually fades.
