Transform Your Skin With Microsclerotherapy
Thread veins, also known as spider veins, are small, dilated blood vessels near the skin’s surface that can be unsightly and cause discomfort. Microsclerotherapy is a treatment made to effectively reduce their visibility.
This treatment involves injecting a sclerosing solution into the affected veins, collapsing them and improving skin clarity.
Microsclerotherapy can boost self-confidence by improving the appearance of your legs or other areas like the hands, where thread veins often lie.

Microsclerotherapy Advice
Before your treatment
Avoid Certain Medications: Anti-inflammatory medications such as ibuprofen or aspirin should be avoided for at least 48 hours before your treatment, as they can increase the risk of bruising.
Wear Comfortable Clothing: On the day of your treatment, wear loose-fitting clothes to prevent pressure on the treated area.
Avoid Sun Exposure: Protect your skin from sun exposure to reduce the risk of pigmentation changes (which would occur after your treatment).
Hydrate and Eat Lightly: Ensure you’re properly hydrated and have eaten a light meal to avoid dizziness or discomfort during the procedure.
After your treatment
Wear Compression Stockings: These help improve blood flow and reduce swelling. Wear them for one to two weeks, or as directed by one of our experts.
Keep Moving: Light walking is advised to promote circulation and prevent blood clots, but avoid intense activities and heavy lifting for 48 hours.
Avoid Sun Exposure: To avoid pigmentation changes, shield the treated areas from the sun for at least four weeks.
Avoid Alcohol and Smoking: These can disrupt healing and increase complication risks. It’s advisable not to drink alcohol or smoke for at least 48 hours after your treatment.
Avoid Hot Baths and Saunas: Refrain from hot baths, saunas, and jacuzzis for at least two weeks as heat can aggravate swelling and bruising.

Microsclerotherapy FAQs
Microsclerotherapy is a procedure that treats thread veins (spider veins) by injecting a sclerosing agent into the affected veins. This solution irritates the vein walls, causing them to collapse and eventually be reabsorbed by the body, leading to clearer skin. Contact us to discuss any questions you may have.
Those in good overall health who are concerned about the look of thread veins on their legs are often the best candidates. Candidates must not be pregnant or breastfeeding, and they must not have any blood-clotting issues.
During the session, a tiny needle is used to inject the sclerosing solution into the targeted veins. The procedure roughly takes about 30 minutes. The majority of patients experience mild discomfort, often reported as a slight tingling or burning sensation.
The number of sessions varies depending on the size and number of veins being treated. On average, patients may require between 1 to 3 sessions, spaced 4 to 6 weeks apart, to achieve the best results.
Improvement is gradual. The treated veins begin to fade after 3 weeks, with complete vein removal usually seen after 3 months.
Results can last several years; the veins that have been treated do not grow back. However, new veins may grow over time, which may require future treatment.
Microsclerothreapy is considered a very safe treatment when conducted by a trained professional like those at Lumineux Aesthetics. Some patients may experience mild side effects such as bruising, redness, or itching at the injection site. In rare cases, hyperpigmentation or small ulcers may occur. However, these side effects are typically temporary and go away on their own.
There is minimal to no downtime following microsclerotherapy treatment. For the most part, patients can resume normal activities immediately. However, it’s best to stay away from strenuous exercise and hot baths for a few days after the procedure.
Yes, wearing compression stockings after the procedure is often recommended. They enhance the effectiveness of the treatment by encouraging healing and compressing the treated veins. One of our experts will give you guidance on how long to wear them.
Microsclerotherapy is a safe and well-established procedure for treating thread veins when performed by one of our expert practitioners. The risks are minimal, and complications are rare.

Immediately after microsclerotherapy, you may notice some redness and slight swelling around the treated areas. Bruising may also occur and can last for a few days to weeks. These effects are normal and temporary. The treated veins will begin to fade over the next few weeks.
