Sclerotherapy

Restore clear, youthful looking legs with Sclerotherapy, a clinically proven noninvasive treatment that eliminates visible veins and restores confidence. This precision injectable safely closes damaged vessels and fades imperfections without surgery or downtime.

Ideal For Thread veins, spider veins, and small varicose veins on the legs or body.

Treatment Options Sclerotherapy as a standalone injectable treatment or in combination with laser vein therapy for enhanced results.

Anaesthesia No general anaesthetic is needed. A light numbing cream can be applied for comfort if required.

Treatment Time Approximately 20 to 45 minutes depending on the size and number of veins treated.

Downtime Minimal downtime. Mild redness or swelling may occur and usually resolves within a few days.

Results Veins begin to fade within three to six weeks, with full results visible after two to three months.

Confident Legs, Clearer Skin

Sclerotherapy at Cranley Clinic is a trusted medical technique that has been refined for modern use. By injecting a carefully formulated solution directly into affected veins, the vessel walls collapse and are gradually reabsorbed by the body. The result is clearer, smoother skin and renewed confidence in your appearance. This treatment is especially suited to small veins that are too fine for surgical or laser approaches.

Clinical Insight

Sclerotherapy Considerations, Clinically Addressed

How many sessions will I need?

Most patients need one to three sessions per area, spaced about four to six weeks apart depending on vein visibility and response.

Is sclerotherapy suitable for larger varicose veins?

No. Larger or deeper veins may be better treated with laser ablation or surgical procedures.

Can I exercise after treatment?

Light walking is encouraged, but avoid strenuous activity for at least 48 hours.

Will the veins come back?

Treated veins do not return, but new veins may form over time, particularly in individuals with a genetic predisposition.

Are there any risks?

Side effects are uncommon and usually mild. Temporary bruising, pigmentation changes or slight lumpiness can occur but resolve naturally. Serious complications are exceptionally rare when performed by qualified professionals.

The treatment I had at the Cranley Clinic was excellent. Mr Ali Ghanem is clearly an expert in his field. He also has an exceptionally warm personality which puts you at ease straight away. The treatment is amazing but subtle. Everyone on the Cranley team, whom I met and spoke with at various times, were really lovely; I can highly recommend both the Clinic and of course Mr Ghanem.
