Threadvein Treatment

Spider veins and thread veins are terms for the small, unsightly, superficial veins usually found in clusters on the legs. They are a frequent cosmetic cause for concern amongst women and the demand for treatment is rapidly increasing.

Microsclerotherapy is a safe, effective and well established treatment for thread veins on the legs. Although there are a number of alternative treatments available , it remains the most reliably successful of them all.

The treatment is injection with a very tiny needle, superficially into  the vein. Some people feel nothing , some feel tiny nips. How uncomfortable varies from one person to another. The appearance has usually improved noticeably by day 10 – 14. AT 4 – 6 weeks the thread  veins should look pretty much as they did before injections and thereafter start improving. The full effect of the injection session is apparent at 12 weeks. Please remember that everyone is different. Do not worry if the above does not apply to you. This is general  pattern not a set of definite rules which define success or failure.

It is not always possible to achieve 100% clearance but we should aim for at least 60-80% improvement in their appearance. Although it is possible to get such a result after one treatment it can take more. Most people are satisfied with the results somewhere between one to four treatments. It would be fair to say budget for upto four treatments over a period of 4 – 12 months.
