GlossarySclerotherapy

medical procedure injecting solution to collapse varicose veins

Sclerotherapy is a medical procedure used to treat varicose veins and spider veins. It involves injecting a solution directly into the affected veins, causing them to collapse and eventually be reabsorbed by the body, improving both appearance and symptoms. This technique is often performed by dermatologists or vascular surgeons and can also be used to treat certain types of vascular malformations.
