SCLEROTHERAPY - LEG SPIDER VEIN REMOVAL

How Sclerotherapy Removes Leg Veins​

​​​​​

Sclerotherapy is a proven non-surgical procedure used to eliminate thread veins (spider veins) and very small varicose veins. At Bella Mai, the process is simple and effective:

​

• The Injection: A specialised solution called a sclerosant is injected directly into the problem vein using an ultra-fine needle.

• The Reaction: The solution causes the walls of the vein to stick together and shrink.

• The Result: Over a period of 3 to 6 weeks, the vein dissolves and is naturally absorbed by the body, leaving the skin looking clearer and smoother.

Understanding Spider Veins​​​

​

While thread veins are usually harmless, they can cause significant self-consciousness, especially when visible on the legs. At our Essex clinic, we recognise that several factors can worsen their appearance, including:

​

• Genetics: A family history of vein issues.

• Lifestyle: Heat exposure and alcohol consumption.

• Hormonal Changes: Imbalances that affect vein wall strength.

Treatment Intervals

​​

There are lots of reasons ro consider getting a Vitamin B12 shot, as explained above. There is no limit for the intake of vitamin B12 because the risk of toxicity or overdoes is extremely low.

​

Anyone with low potassium levels, kidney disease or lung disease should NOT have Vitamin B12 injection shots.

​

We recommend 2-3 Treatments every 6-8 weeks.
