Like all of the other treatments for varicose veins, this will get rid of the problem veins that you currently have but will not prevent new ones appearing, particularly if you are genetically predisposed to this condition.

As non-painful stable varicose veins are not considered to be a medical problem, this work will need to be completed as a cosmetic procedure and there are likely to be significant costs involved.

Although this sounds like a miracle treatment, unfortunately this is not appropriate for everyone. If you have particularly severe varicose veins this may not be the treatment for you and surgery may be a more appropriate option.

People with a tendency towards keloid scarring (this is when a scar develops as a raised hard lump) are not deemed suitable and because laser treatments can affect and be affected by skin tone, it is best seek advice from your doctor or medical practitioner to determine whether this treatment is the best one for you.

The laser treatments for varicose veins and spider veins are slightly different. As spider veins are by their very nature close to the surface of the skin, Laser spider vein treatment involves no needles and no incisions. The laser pulses, passing light through the skin to heat up the blood in the affected tiny vein.

Heating the vein up makes it shrink in size, and over a period of a couple of days will disappear from view almost completely in most cases. The patient only experiences a small amount of heat in the affected area, however depending on the severity of the veins, further treatment may be required.

The procedure for the laser treatment (also known as and removal of varicose veins is slightly different and marginally more invasive. Prior to the surgery, an ultrasound scan will be performed to ‘map’ your leg veins to determine where the problem is and also to ensure that the treatment is not going to have a knock on effect somewhere else in the patients’ circulatory system.

After this has been performed, a small incision is made close to the site of the affected vein into which a small tube or catheter is fed. This tube helps the doctor to target the affected blood vessels with the laser so that when the laser is switched on, the energy that it emits shrinks and seals the vein off.

The result of the procedure is the treated vein, as well as the neighbouring veins affected by it disappear from view, improving the appearance of the affected area.

Recovery time is very quick for most patients and they can resume normal activities very soon after the procedure, though, as it common with other treatment, there is a need to wear compression stockings to help the circulation and prevent blood clots.

One of the benefits of this procedure is that post-operative complications are comparatively rare.

Sclerotherapy Solution for Varicose Vein and Spider Veins

Varicose vein sclerotherapy is a medical technique frequently used to treat small to medium sized varicose veins that is chiefly used to counter the visual, cosmetic symptoms of the condition and works to reduce the appearance of unsightly veins.

However, as is true of other techniques. sclerotherapy cannot prevent the appearance of new varicose veins. It involves the injection of a chemical into the affected veins to make them to scar up, close and seal.

In order to ensure that the chemicals are being injected into the correct location, ultrasound imaging is used to direct the doctor to the damaged vein while a local painkiller is used to ensure that the procedure is not uncomfortable.

When an area of vein is closed in this manner, the other veins adapt to carry the rerouted blood flow in the same way that it does with other more invasive surgical interventions like ligation and stripping. However, there is no need for a general anaesthetic which could potentially require an overnight stay in hospital.

This technique also has the advantage of cutting out the other risks that can arise from a hospital stay as well as being a much less invasive technique. The patient will probably need to have a special scan, known as a Doppler Ultra Sound Scan, prior to the treatment to ensure that they are receiving the appropriate treatment.

It is always good practice to have scan before undertaking the treatment as it will highlight any undiagnosed problems that will negate the effects of the treatment or even make the varicose veins look and feel worse than they did before.

There are two variants of the varicose vein sclerotherapy technique that are available.

Liquid Sclerotherapy involves the injection of a liquid chemical into the damaged vein.

Foam sclerotherapy where a foam, made up of the active ingredient of liquid sclerotherapy mixed with air to roughly the consistency of shaving foam, is injected into the veins which causes the blood to be forced out of the varicose area of vein, again causing the area to scar and close.

One of the key advantages of sclerotherapy is that it is usually performed using local anaesthesia, thus eliminating the increased risks that are part and parcel of general anaesthesia.

Another major advantage of this procedure is that the patient is able to leave immediately after the treatment, can usually return to work the same day and even drive straight away if they feel up to it.

After the treatment they will still be required to wear compression bandages or pressure bandages on the affected area for between three days and a week to support the circulation until it has successfully returned to normal. It is also best to avoid very physical sports and hot baths for a week after the treatment.

While as a rule, sclerotherapy is a very safe and effective treatment for non-problematic varicose veins, there are some side effects to the process. Foam sclerotherapy in particular can cause fainting, visual disturbances, changes to skin colour over the affected area and more occasionally, blood clots in other areas, headaches and lower back pain. The risk of additional clotting can be reduced by making sure that compression stockings are worn as directed.
