Q: How much does sclerotherapy cost in Lagos?

Sclerotherapy pricing depends on the number of veins treated and sessions required. Contact our clinic for personalized pricing during your vein assessment.

Q: Is sclerotherapy painful?

Most clients experience only mild discomfort similar to a small pinprick. The sclerosant may cause slight burning that subsides within minutes.

Q: How many sclerotherapy sessions will I need?

Most areas require 1-3 sessions for optimal results, depending on vein size, number, and individual response to treatment.

Expert Sclerotherapy Treatment for Spider and Varicose Veins

Sclerotherapy for Spider Veins and Small Varicose Veins

Sclerotherapy is a minimally invasive procedure that involves injecting a specialised solution into affected veins. The solution causes the treated veins to close, allowing the body to gradually absorb them and reduce their appearance.

At Skintisfaction, we provide sclerotherapy for suitable spider veins and small varicose veins, particularly on the legs. Each treatment is planned according to your vein condition, medical history and individual needs.

Why Choose Sclerotherapy?

Effective Vein Reduction
Reduces the appearance of spider veins and suitable small varicose veins without surgery.

Targeted Treatment
Treats individual veins and clusters, including vessels that may not respond well to surface laser treatment.

Minimally Invasive
Uses fine-needle injections without surgical incisions or general anaesthesia.

Improved Skin Appearance
Helps reduce visible red, blue or purple veins for clearer-looking skin.

Minimal Downtime
Most clients can walk and resume light daily activities shortly after treatment, following appropriate aftercare.

Vein Concerns We Treat

Sclerotherapy can address several superficial vein conditions following a suitable medical assessment.

Spider Veins
Fine red, blue or purple veins that commonly appear on the legs in branching or web-like patterns.

Small Varicose Veins
Selected small, raised or twisted veins that may be suitable for injection treatment.

Reticular Veins
Blue or green veins beneath the skin that often supply smaller spider veins.

Vein Clusters
Groups of visible superficial veins affecting the appearance of the legs.

Persistent Spider Veins
Suitable veins that remain visible following previous treatment or require additional sessions.

Recurring Vein Concerns
New or recurring superficial veins that may benefit from reassessment and further treatment.

What to Expect During Your Sclerotherapy Treatment

Vein Assessment
Your practitioner examines the affected veins, circulation and medical history to determine whether sclerotherapy is appropriate. An ultrasound assessment may be recommended.

Treatment Preparation
The treatment area is cleaned, and the veins to be treated are identified. The procedure usually requires no general anaesthesia.

Sclerotherapy Injections
A fine needle is used to inject the sclerosant solution into selected veins, causing them to close gradually. Mild stinging or cramping may occur.

Recovery and Follow-Up
Compression stockings may be recommended, along with regular walking and temporary activity restrictions. Your practitioner monitors your progress and advises whether further sessions are needed.
