At FAB Clinic, we specialize in advanced treatments for spider veins, including the highly effective procedure known as sclerotherapy. This minimally invasive treatment has helped countless patients achieve smoother, clearer skin free from unsightly spider veins. Here’s everything you need to know about sclerotherapy and how it can benefit you.
Sclerotherapy is a medical procedure used to eliminate spider veins and small varicose veins. The treatment involves injecting a sclerosing solution directly into the affected veins. This solution irritates the lining of the blood vessels, causing them to collapse and eventually be reabsorbed by the body. As a result, the treated veins fade from view, leaving the skin clearer and more aesthetically pleasing.
The process begins with a thorough examination by one of our experienced practitioners to determine if you are a good candidate for sclerotherapy. During the procedure, a fine needle is used to inject the sclerosing solution into the spider veins. The solution causes the vein walls to stick together, closing off the vein. Over time, the body naturally absorbs the treated vein, making it less visible or completely invisible.
Spider veins, also known as telangiectasias, are small, dilated blood vessels that appear close to the surface of the skin. They are commonly found on the legs and face. Sclerotherapy is particularly effective for treating these veins, providing noticeable improvement in the skin’s appearance.
The cost of sclerotherapy varies depending on the extent of the treatment and the number of sessions required. At FAB Clinic, we offer competitive pricing and personalized treatment plans to meet your needs. Our patients consistently report high satisfaction with their results, often highlighting the significant improvement in the appearance of their skin.
While sclerotherapy is generally safe, some patients may experience side effects such as temporary redness, swelling, or bruising at the injection sites. These side effects usually subside within a few days. Serious complications are rare but can include allergic reactions or blood clots.
At FAB Clinic, our experienced practitioners are dedicated to providing the highest quality care. We use advanced techniques and state-of-the-art equipment to ensure the best possible outcomes for our patients. Our personalized approach ensures that each treatment plan is tailored to your specific needs, helping you achieve your aesthetic goals.

Recovery times are very similar to a breast augmentation, but if we have carried out a Mastopexy or breast reshaping, you will need a little longer. Expect 2-3 weeks. The breast reshaping procedure means you will have additional scars that will need time to heal. In both cases you’ll need to wear a support bra. If you undergo both an implant replacement and an uplift, you will experience some discomfort. We will provide a special support bra and pain killers to assist your recovery.
You will be expected to attend the clinic in the month after your surgery to check your progress and healing, and to remove any stitches. We will also give you the out of hours contact number of an expert medical practitioner, handy if you have any concerns following your operation.
If you have been feeling self-conscious about your old implants, or they’re painful, it will feel wonderful to be back in shape again, with a silhouette you can be proud of and a pain-free life.
During a sclerotherapy procedure, the treatment area is cleaned, and a fine needle is used to inject the sclerosing solution into the veins. The procedure typically takes 30 to 45 minutes, depending on the number and size of the veins being treated. You may experience mild discomfort or a burning sensation during the injections
Common side effects of sclerotherapy include temporary redness, swelling, bruising, and itching at the injection sites. These side effects usually subside within a few days to weeks. Rare complications can include blood clots, allergic reactions, and skin discoloration
The number of sclerotherapy sessions needed varies depending on the severity of the vein condition and the individual’s response to treatment. Most patients require multiple sessions, spaced several weeks apart, to achieve optimal results
After sclerotherapy, patients are advised to wear compression stockings for several days to help compress the treated veins and promote healing. Normal activities can usually be resumed immediately, but strenuous exercise and prolonged sun exposure should be avoided for a few days
The results of sclerotherapy can be long-lasting, especially when patients follow post-treatment care instructions. However, new veins can develop over time, so maintenance treatments may be necessary. Lifestyle changes, such as regular exercise and weight management, can help prevent the formation of new veins
Sclerotherapy is highly effective for treating spider veins and small varicose veins. Most patients experience significant improvement after one or more sessions. The success rate for sclerotherapy is high, with many patients achieving clear skin and reduced vein visibility
