Microsclerotherapy – Leg Thread Veins or Spider Veins

Microsclerotherapy remains the most reliable and successful treatment for leg thread veins. It is suitable for use on thread veins on the legs or body, provided they are beneath the heart. (For thread veins on the Face click here).

A solution is injected with a very tiny needle into the veins, causing the lining of the vein to swell and become sticky allowing blood to adhere to the vein wall. Compression is then applied to close the veins, usually in the form of a graduated medical compression stocking. Over a period of time, the vein will heal and fade away.

A course of treatments is required to obtain a good result. You should budget for about 4 treatments but the number of sessions required depends on the extent of veins and how well they respond to injection treatment. We offer free consultations and will be able to give you a guide to the number of treatments required based on our experience thread veins?

The causes of thread veins are largely unknown but experts agree that they:

  • They are usually inherited
  • Hormonal changes for example with pregnancy and HRT may increase their likelihood.
  • Trauma/surgery to the legs can cause an eruption of thread veins.
  • They become more prominent and numerous with increasing age.Spider Veins, Leg Thread Veins removal Prestbury Cheshire

Is Microsclerotherapy Permanent?

Small vessels will be absorbed by the body over a three month period and should not reappear. To achieve optimum results, the treated thread and spider veins need to be continuously compressed for 14 days and nights. However, it does not stop new thread veins appearing which may require further treatment.
