A chemical solution or Sclerosing agent is injected at several points along the veins. The solution or Sclerosing agent is injected through a very fine needle, directly into the vein. The solution irritates the lining of the veins which causes the vein walls to collapse, forcing the blood to reroute through healthier veins. The collapsed vein is reabsorbed into local tissue and eventually fades over a period of 2-8 weeks and the appearance is significantly improved – resulting in much clearer, vein-free skin.
Following the injections, it is important that veins stay in a collapsed state, therefore cotton balls and a compression wrap may be applied to promote proper healing and help assist shrinkage of the veins. After your treatment you will be required to wear compression tights for at least three days. These tights will not need to be worn overnight, apart from that; your daily activities can be resumed after treatment like normal.
