Injection sclerotherapy is a common treatment for varicose veins. During the procedure, a solution (sclerosant) is injected directly into the affected vein. This solution irritates the lining of the vein, causing it to collapse and stick together. Over time, the sealed vein is absorbed by the body, and blood is rerouted through healthier veins. Sclerotherapy is often used for smaller varicose veins or spider veins. Multiple sessions may be required, and while it’s generally safe, there can be side effects, so it’s important to consult with a healthcare professional to determine if it’s the right option for you.
