Microsclerotherapy at FTT Skin Clinics.
What Is Microsclerotherapy?
Microsclerotherapy is a safe, minimally invasive treatment designed to reduce or eliminate thread veins, also known as spider veins, commonly found on the legs. It involves the precise injection of a sclerosing solution into the affected veins using a very fine needle. This causes the vein walls to collapse, stick together, and eventually fade as the body naturally reabsorbs them. The result is visibly clearer, more even-toned skin.
Why Choose Microsclerotherapy?
Microsclerotherapy is widely regarded as the gold standard for cosmetic thread vein treatment. It is highly effective and well-tolerated by most patients. At FTT Skin Clinics, we use this procedure to treat cosmetic leg veins only—not varicose veins, which require specialised vascular intervention.
Benefits include:
- Non-surgical and relatively painless
- Minimal downtime
- Long-lasting, visible results
- Clinically proven effectiveness
What to Expect During Treatment
Each treatment session lasts around 30 minutes, depending on the size and number of veins being treated. You may need more than 1 session for optimal results.
We’ll guide you through the entire process, from consultation to aftercare, ensuring your treatment is comfortable and tailored to your individual needs.
Aftercare and Recovery
Following Microsclerotherapy, you’ll be advised to wear compression stockings for 3 days to support healing and maximise results. While downtime is minimal, it’s best to avoid strenuous activity, saunas, and hot baths for the first few days post-treatment.
You may experience mild bruising or redness at the injection sites—this is completely normal and subsides quickly.
