Leg veins, also known as spider veins or telangiectasia, occur in both men and women. These veins are often visible on the legs and can be treated with microsclerotherapy in London.
Microsclerotherapy London uses a sclerosing solution that forces the blood out of the unwanted vein while irritating the lining of the vessel, this causes the vessel to swell and stick together. Over the course of six to twelve weeks after your treatment, the vein gradually shrivels and disappears as it is absorbed by your body’s natural defence system.
This treatment can be used on veins on the legs and anywhere on the body beneath the heart. Your doctor will then use a fine needle to inject a sclerosing solution directly into the problem vein. The procedure itself usually takes around half an hour. To ensure that there are no complications, you must not shave or moisturise your legs prior to your microsclerotherapy treatment.
After treatment, you will need to wear compression stockings for three days, but you can resume your everyday activities immediately afterwards. You may experience some mild bruising, which should subside within a couple of weeks after your treatment. You should avoid aerobic activities for 24 hours after the procedure.
Each treatment may vary from one person to another. Contact our London team for more information. Bodyvie offers integrated medical and aesthetic services, with a strong track record and established credibility since 1999.
Microsclerotherapy can also be used for:
Thread veins and spider veins, though generally harmless, can be a significant cosmetic concern. These delicate veins present intricate patterns of thin lines, webs, or branching structures, often displaying shades of red, pink, or purple. Responsible for transporting blood towards the heart, veins contain valves that play a crucial role in maintaining proper blood flow direction.
Damage to these veins, stemming from disrupted or blocked valves, leads to the pooling of blood within the vein, exacerbating its visibility on the skin’s surface. When these pooled blood vessels rupture, they give rise to spider veins, a phenomenon particularly prevalent on the face due to vessel bursting, external pressure, or sun-induced damage.
Thankfully, effective treatment solutions are available. Sclerotherapy, administered by medical professionals, targets larger veins, while laser therapy, a viable option for smaller veins, selectively destroys them under the guidance of skilled aestheticians.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Your Bodyvie doctor will then use a fine needle to inject a sclerosing solution directly into the problem vein. You might experience a light stinging sensation as solution is injected. Following treatment as the vein dissolves, itching is normal. A Class II compression garment is recommended to be worn for 5 days post treatment.
On average 1-3 sessions are required depending on the number and severity of the veins. The same veins will not return once treated, but new ones might develop over time. For as long as our blood is pumping this is not something that can be stopped.
Immediately following treatment the treated veins will appear red and elevated. Over the following days bruising can develop and possible discolouration. These are normal and expected associated side effects which subside with time over the coming weeks. For body veins patients should be prepared for 4-6 weeks of downtime in treated areas.
