Sclerotherapy - An effective solution for removing spider veins and spider veins
Unsightly spider veins or spider veins on your legs, face or décolleté can disrupt the aesthetics of your skin and reduce your self-confidence. Sclerotherapy is a modern and safe method to remove these small vascular changes and return your skin to a smooth and even appearance. At Estetika Plus in Pilsen, we use advanced technologies, including laser sclerotherapy with the Vasculaze device from INMODE, to make our procedures fast, effective and minimally invasive. This article will guide you through everything you need to know about sclerotherapy, from its principle to preparation and procedure to after-treatment care. Discover how we can help you achieve beautiful and healthy skin.
What is sclerotherapy and how does it work
Sclerotherapy is a medical procedure aimed at removing small vascular changes, such as spider veins or spider veins, that appear just below the surface of the skin. These veins, although usually not dangerous to health, can be aesthetically disturbing or in some cases cause discomfort, such as swelling or a feeling of heavy legs. At Estetika Plus, we specialize in laser sclerotherapy, which uses targeted laser beams to close the affected veins without damaging the surrounding tissue.
The principle of laser sclerotherapy is that the laser beam penetrates the skin and heats the blood in the vein, which causes it to coagulate and close. The body then naturally absorbs and removes these closed veins, making the skin smoother and more even. This method is precise, safe and, thanks to modern technology, also very comfortable. In addition to laser sclerotherapy, there is also injection sclerotherapy, in which a special substance (sclerotic) is injected into the blood vessel, which closes the blood vessel. At Estetika Plus, we use laser sclerotherapy due to its high precision, minimal invasiveness and fast healing.
Who is sclerotherapy suitable for
Sclerotherapy is ideal for people who want to remove minor vascular changes, whether for aesthetic or health reasons. The main indications include:
- Visible spider veins on the legs, face or décolleté
- Spider veins that disrupt the aesthetics of the skin
- Feeling of heavy legs or mild swelling associated with vascular changes
- Aesthetic desire to achieve smooth and even skin
The procedure is suitable for men and women of different ages, especially for those who are looking for a minimally invasive solution without a long recovery period. Sclerotherapy is not suitable for pregnant women, people with acute inflammation in the treated area or serious vascular diseases such as deep vein thrombosis. A consultation is always carried out before the procedure, during which the doctor assesses the condition and recommends the best course of action.
Benefits of Sclerotherapy
Laser sclerotherapy is a popular choice for removing spider veins and spider veins due to its numerous benefits. A significant improvement in the appearance of the skin is noticeable after the first treatment, with full results visible within a few weeks. This minimally invasive method requires no incisions or stitches, ensuring rapid healing with no recovery time. Thanks to the modern Vasculaze laser, the procedure is comfortable, accompanied only by a slight stinging or feeling of warmth. The closed veins are permanently removed, although some clients may develop new veins over time that can be treated again. Sclerotherapy is also versatile - it is suitable for both sensitive areas such as the face and larger areas such as the legs. These features make sclerotherapy an ideal solution for those looking for a quick and safe way to improve the aesthetics of their skin.
Preparation for treatment
Preparation for sclerotherapy is not difficult and allows you to continue with your normal daily routine with minimal adjustments. To ensure a smooth procedure and optimal results, we recommend limiting exposure of the treated area to intense heat, such as saunas or hot baths. During your consultation at Estetika Plus, we will provide you with individual recommendations and detailed information to make your experience of the procedure as pleasant and seamless as possible.
The process of vein removal
Vein removal is a quick procedure that we perform with the utmost care and precision, usually taking around 30-60 minutes, depending on the extent of the area being treated. Upon arrival at our clinic, you will be greeted by our friendly team who will guide you through the entire process and ensure that your experience is as pleasant as possible. Before starting the procedure, the doctor will carefully examine and mark the areas with visible spider veins or whiplash. He will then set the INMODE Vasculaze laser device to the optimal parameters, which are adapted to your skin type and specific vascular changes, to ensure maximum safety and effectiveness.
The Vasculaze device minimizes discomfort, so you will only feel a slight stinging or warmth during the treatment, making the procedure very comfortable. After the procedure, the skin in the treated area may be slightly red or slightly sensitive, but these symptoms usually disappear within a few hours. Laser sclerotherapy does not require anesthesia or hospitalization, so you can return to your normal daily activities almost immediately. For optimal results, your doctor may recommend 2-3 sessions spaced 4-6 weeks apart, depending on the extent of the vascular changes. After the procedure, we will provide you with detailed instructions for caring for the treated area to promote rapid healing and achieve long-term smooth and aesthetically pleasing skin.
Combination with other procedures
Sclerotherapy is an exceptionally effective method for removing spider veins and spider veins, but its results can be further enhanced by combining it with other aesthetic procedures. This comprehensive approach allows not only to address vascular changes, but also to improve the overall appearance and quality of the skin, whether on the legs, face or décolleté. At our clinic, we offer a number of additional procedures that harmoniously complement sclerotherapy and contribute to long-term aesthetic improvement. For example, the Lumecca IPL treatment is ideal for even skin tone and removing pigment spots. The Morpheus 8 microneedle radiofrequency, in turn, firms and rejuvenates the skin by stimulating the production of collagen and elastin, which brings a smoother and more elastic appearance. For clients who want to remove unwanted hair, laser hair removal is a great option that ensures smooth skin without the need for frequent shaving. These combined approaches, carefully designed by our doctors, ensure not only the removal of aesthetic imperfections, but also a long-term improvement in the structure and appearance of the skin, thanks to which you will achieve a harmonious and fresh appearance tailored to your individual needs.
