How is the treatment going?

The sclerotherapy session takes place in the clinic, with a valid individual prescription only. The document to be completed by your doctor before your appointment is attached below. The session is carried out by authorized clinical nurses who have received specific training in this area.
​

Sclerotherapy does not require anesthesia or incision, as the injections are made with fine needles. A sclerosing product is injected into the incompetent veins (varicose veins, reticular veins and telangiectasias). The concentration of the product is chosen according to the caliber of the vein to be treated. After disinfecting the skin, the nurse injects the sclerosing product into different parts of the vein to be treated. You can resume activities the same day. Wearing compression stockings is generally recommended after the session.

What are the results ?

Above all aesthetic, sclerotherapy also reduces the symptoms associated with venous disorders, such as pain and burning sensation in the legs, since by removing varicose veins, blood circulation in the operational veins is improved. It thus makes it possible to stabilize the superficial venous disease. Several sessions are often necessary for optimum results. However, since varicose disease is a progressive disease, varicose veins can recur.
