Sclerotherapy

Why go for Sclerotherapy?

Sclerotherapy effectively treats varicose and spider veins. It's often considered the treatment of choice for small varicose veins. Sclerotherapy involves injecting a solution directly into the vein. The sclerotherapy solution causes the vein to scar, forcing blood to reroute through healthier veins. Dr Luhard offers Sclerotherapy, which consists of painless injections of a sclerosing agent into varicose veins, causing them to dry out, shrink and slowly dissapear, as they are gradually absorbed by the body.

What is Sclerotherapy?

Sclerotherapy is a procedure used to treat blood vessel malformations and also malformations of the lymphatic system. A medicine is injected into the vessels, which makes them shrink. It is used for children and young adults with vascular or lymphatic malformations.

How does it work?

Sclerotherapy involves injecting a solution directly into the vein. The sclerotherapy solution causes the vein to scar, forcing blood to reroute through healthier veins. The collapsed vein is reabsorbed into local tissue and eventually fades.
