Are spider veins affecting how you feel in your own skin?

Micro sclerotherapy is a gentle, highly targeted treatment designed specifically for those small, superficial veins—often seen on the legs or ankles.

This minimally invasive solution for spider veins uses ultra-fine needles to inject a sclerosing solution into the vein, causing it to collapse. Over time, the vein fades from view as blood naturally redirects to healthier vessels.

How Micro Sclerotherapy Differs From Standard Sclerotherapy

Micro sclerotherapy is a refinement of standard sclerotherapy designed for the finest vessels. It uses very fine needles and a lower-concentration sclerosant to close thread veins and small spider veins, typically under 1 to 2 mm, with precision. Because each injection treats a tiny area, sessions are short and several sessions a few weeks apart usually give the best cosmetic result.

Standard liquid or foam sclerotherapy, by contrast, treats larger reticular and varicose tributaries, often under ultrasound guidance. If a duplex scan shows underlying reflux in a main vein, that is treated first; otherwise the surface veins tend to return.

Frequently Asked Questions

How many micro sclerotherapy sessions will I need?

Most patients need two to four short sessions spaced a few weeks apart, depending on how extensive the thread veins are. A realistic plan is agreed at your assessment.

Is micro sclerotherapy painful?

The needles are extremely fine, so most patients describe only mild stinging that settles quickly. No anaesthetic is required and you can return to normal activities immediately.

When will I see results?

Veins fade gradually as the body absorbs them, with visible improvement typically over 4 to 12 weeks after each session.
