Sclerotherapy

SCLEROTHERAPY

BEFORE AFTER

WHAT IS SCLEROTHERAPY ?

Sclerotherapy is a safe, painless and well established treatment for the removal of thread veins on the legs.

A solution is injected with a very tiny needle, very superficially into the veins, causing the lining of the vein to break down. The damage to the vein wall triggers a healing response whic over several weeks causes the vein to close and fade away.

WHAT TO EXPECT

The results are not immediate. The veins look worse before they get better and the treatment may need to be repeated at 4-8 week intervals. Most patients see a 60-80% improvement in the appearance of the veins between 1-4 treatments.

ARE THE RESULTS PERMANENT?

The veins that are successfully treated will not reappear but this is the treatment for the symptoms and
not a cure for the underlying causes so new veins may develop over time.

IS THIS A SAFE TREATMENT?

This is a very safe treatment but as with any other treatment, not entirely without risk.

This treatment is not suitable for everyone therefore we will take a medical history and discuss the

possible risks and complications with you in your complimentary consultation.

AFTERCARE

You may resume normal activities immediately. You will be given special hosiery to wear for a week

after the treatment. You will be advised to take a brisk 10 min walk immediately afterwards, to avoid

high impact exercise for 2 weeks, no steaming hot baths, showers, saunas or sunbeds for 2 wee

and no waxing for 4 weeks.

HOW MUCH DOES IT COST?

Consultation is complimentary so you can come and discuss your needs and chat to Gina about your

leg veins. Gina will inspect the area and give you a price depending on size of area.

Prices start from £125 - £200 per session.

We have many satisfied patients who suffered with unsightly leg veins that were preventing them from wearing the clothes they felt good in and now feel confident and happy.

"During my pregnancies my thread veins got worse and after my 2nd child I decided to visit the Cosmetic Enhancement Clinic to see Gina. I felt immediately reassured and comfortable. 3 sessions later I am now able to wear shorts and not put on self tan to try and conceal them. Very happy "

"I was recommended to see Gina from a good friend and very glad that I was. 4 sessions later and I am now happy with what I see (or dont see!).

"I have suffered from thread veins on my legs from age 19 and didn't know there was a remedy for them until I researched online. At last I can now wear shorts in the summer and not feel self conscious about them as they have improved so much. Very happy with the service Gina provides."
