The procedure is quick and usually done in a doctor’s office.You may feel a slight pinch during the injection, but most people find it tolerable. Afterward, you might have some mild swelling or bruising, but these side effects typically go away soon.
Many people choose sclerotherapy because it’s effective and requires no surgery. Most can return to their normal activities shortly after the treatment. Over time, the treated veins fade from view, improving the appearance of your legs. While some veins may return, additional treatments can help keep your legs looking their best.
