Sclerotherapy: A Simple, Non-Surgical Solution for Varicose Veins
Sclerotherapy is a minimally invasive treatment designed to effectively eliminate varicose and spider veins. During the procedure, a specialized solution called a sclerosant is injected directly into the affected vein. This solution irritates the vein walls, causing them to collapse and gradually be reabsorbed by the body, making the vein fade over time.
Sclerotherapy is a popular alternative to surgery because it is:
- Quick and virtually painless—the procedure takes less than 30 minutes.
- Performed in-office with no need for anesthesia.
- Requires little to no downtime, allowing patients to resume daily activities almost immediately.
Symptoms of Chronic Venous insufficiency
What Causes Chronic Venous Insufficiency?
Chronic Venous Insufficiency (CVI) occurs when the valves in your leg veins become weak or damaged, causing blood to pool instead of flowing back to the heart. Several factors can contribute to its development:
Genetic & Biological Risk Factors
- Family History: A genetic predisposition can increase the likelihood of CVI.
- Gender: Women are at higher risk due to hormonal changes, especially during pregnancy or menopause.
- Blood Clots: Previous deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can impair valve function, leading to CVI.
Lifestyle & Environmental Risk Factors
- Prolonged Sitting or Standing: Staying in one position for long periods increases pressure in the leg veins.
- Lack of Exercise: Physical inactivity can weaken circulation and vein strength.
- Obesity or Excess Weight: Extra body weight puts additional strain on leg veins.
- Pregnancy: Increased vein pressure and hormonal changes during pregnancy can contribute to CVI.
- Smoking: Reduces vein health and damages blood vessels.
- Leg Injury or Trauma: Previous injuries can affect vein valve function and lead to insufficiency.

Varicose Veins
The varicose veins, also identified as varicosities or varicose, are enlarged, twisted veins closer to the skin’s surface. Individuals can experience varicose veins mostly in their legs because walking and standing for a more extended period can increase the load in the veins of an individual’s lower body. Most individuals refer to the varicose veins as spider veins. The varicose vein is primarily found in women; twenty-five percent of adults are diagnosed with varicose veins. Moreover, varicose veins are a cosmetic problem for most individuals; for others, they may be painful.[…]
Spider Veins
Blue or red-colored small veins start showing on the legs, called spider veins. Such veins usually don’t cause pain or irritation, and people may desire to get them treated for cosmetic reasons. There are rare cases where spider veins are painful. There are a variety of treatment options for the removal or reduction of the appearance of spider veins. Treatments may also help prevent blood clot formation in the happing of a surgical procedure in the future, such as a hip replacement. In this article, we will discuss what spider veins are, the causes of spider veins, symptoms, risk factors, and treatment.[…]
