Clear Your Legs of Spider Veins — Safely and Effectively
At London Bridge Healthcare, we provide microsclerotherapy, a simple and effective treatment designed specifically for spider veins and fine surface veins. If you’re bothered by small, visible veins on your legs or thighs, microsclerotherapy offers a non-surgical solution with lasting results and minimal downtime.
What Is Microsclerotherapy?
Microsclerotherapy is a minimally invasive procedure used to treat small thread veins (also known as spider veins or telangiectasias). During the procedure, a very fine needle is used to inject a sclerosing solution directly into the tiny veins, causing them to collapse and gradually fade from view.
The treatment is ideal for cosmetic improvement and does not typically address larger varicose veins or deeper vein disease.
What Can Microsclerotherapy Treat?
Microsclerotherapy is effective for:
Spider veins on the legs, thighs, or ankles
Small reticular veins that feed spider veins
Vein clusters that are not raised or symptomatic
If you have symptoms like leg pain or swelling, you may require a vein ultrasound to determine if deeper venous issues need to be treated first.
Key Benefits of Microsclerotherapy
Minimally invasive with fine needles and no incisions
Quick, in-office treatment
Minimal discomfort and downtime
Excellent cosmetic results
Suitable for most healthy adults
What to Expect During the Procedure
Microsclerotherapy is typically done in a medical office and takes about 30–45 minutes.
01
Consultation &
Vein Assessment
We determine if you’re a good candidate and map out the treatment area.
02
Injection
A small amount of sclerosing solution is injected into each tiny vein using a very fine needle.
03
Compression
Light compression may be applied to help seal the veins and reduce bruising.
The procedure is generally well tolerated, with little to no need for anesthesia.
Aftercare & Results
Compression stockings may be recommended for several days after treatment.
You can return to normal activities immediately, but avoid intense exercise or sun exposure for a few days.
Mild bruising or redness is common and fades within days to weeks.
Treated veins begin to fade over 2–6 weeks, with full results often visible in a few months.
Multiple sessions may be needed for optimal results.
