Varicose veins are a common vascular condition that affects both men and women, especially people who stand for long hours, are overweight, or have a family history of vein disease. These veins appear enlarged, twisted, and bluish in colour and may cause symptoms such as pain, heaviness, swelling, itching, and skin darkening. At Expert IR, we provide Sclerotherapy for Varicose Veins, a proven, non-surgical treatment that offers lasting relief with minimal downtime.
What is Sclerotherapy?
Sclerotherapy is a minimally invasive injection-based procedure used to treat spider veins and small to medium varicose veins. A special medicated solution called a sclerosant is injected directly into the affected vein. This solution irritates the vein lining, causing it to collapse, seal shut, and eventually get absorbed by the body naturally.
How the Procedure is Performed
Before starting treatment, our interventional radiologists at Expert IR perform a detailed Doppler ultrasound scan to understand the vein structure and blood flow. The procedure usually takes 30–45 minutes and does not require anesthesia or hospital admission. Patients remain awake and comfortable throughout the session.
Recovery & Aftercare
There is no long recovery period. Patients can walk immediately after the procedure and return to work the same day. Mild redness, tightness, or bruising may occur but usually settles within a few days. Wearing compression stockings for a few weeks helps in faster healing and better results.
