Using advanced ultrasound technology, we map the affected veins to create a personalized treatment plan targeting the source of the problem.
A sclerosing solution is carefully injected into the targeted veins using fine needles. The solution irritates the vein walls, causing them to swell and stick together.
Over the following weeks, the treated veins close off and are naturally absorbed by your body. Blood is rerouted to healthier veins.
Treated veins gradually fade from view over 3-6 weeks, revealing clearer, more youthful-looking skin.
