Sclerotherapy

Sclerotherapy is a physician administered treatment for the removal of leg veins. The physician uses a tiny syringe fitted with a micro needle to inject a small amount of sclerosing agent into the vein. Sclerosing solution displaces the blood within the vein. It then causes irritation to the lining of the vein, making it swell shut. While each vein may require several injections, most disappear in two weeks to two months.
