UNDERSTANDING THE TREATMENT

What Is Sclerotherapy?

Sclerotherapy is an injection-based vein treatment in which a specialised solution called a sclerosant is introduced into a suitable unwanted vein.

The treatment encourages the targeted vessel to close. Successfully treated superficial vessels can then gradually become less visible as the body processes them over time.

Different forms of sclerotherapy are used for different types of veins.

At Belle Clinic in Golders Green, North West London, our service focuses on cosmetic microsclerotherapy for suitable small spider veins and thread veins, particularly on the legs.

BELLE CLINIC TREATMENT

What Is Microsclerotherapy?

Microsclerotherapy is a form of sclerotherapy specifically used for smaller superficial vessels such as spider veins and thread veins.

The term “micro” refers to the use of very fine needles and precise, small-volume injections into selected vessels.

This is the cosmetic sclerotherapy technique used at Belle Clinic for suitable superficial leg spider veins and thread veins.

HOW IT WORKS

How Does Sclerotherapy Work?

Suitable superficial vessels are treated individually using precise injections.

Precise Injection

A fine needle is used to introduce a small amount of sclerosant into a selected superficial vessel.

Vessel Response

The solution acts on the targeted vessel, encouraging the vessel walls to close.

Gradual Fading

Successfully treated vessels can gradually become less visible over the following weeks.

UNDERSTANDING THE TERMINOLOGY

Sclerotherapy vs Microsclerotherapy

The two terms are closely related, which can sometimes cause confusion.

Sclerotherapy is the broader term for treatments in which a sclerosant is injected into an appropriate vein.

Microsclerotherapy refers more specifically to the fine-needle treatment of smaller superficial vessels, including suitable spider veins and thread veins.

At Belle Clinic, microsclerotherapy is the technique used for the cosmetic leg veins that fall within our treatment scope.

CHOOSING THE APPROPRIATE VEIN TREATMENT

What About Varicose Veins?

Belle Clinic's sclerotherapy service is focused on small superficial spider veins and thread veins.

Larger, raised or bulging varicose veins are different from the small cosmetic vessels treated with microsclerotherapy at our clinic and can require a different type of assessment.

If you have prominent varicose veins, particularly where there is associated discomfort, swelling, heaviness or skin changes, an appropriate vascular assessment may be recommended.

YOUR APPOINTMENT

What Happens During Sclerotherapy?

Treatment begins with assessment of your visible vessels and suitability for microsclerotherapy.

Assessment

The size, colour, distribution and appearance of your visible veins are assessed.

Preparation

Suitable vessels are selected and the treatment area is prepared.

Micro-Injections

A fine needle is used to treat selected superficial vessels with small-volume injections.

Aftercare

You will receive appropriate aftercare instructions, including compression guidance where required.

RESULTS & EXPECTATIONS

When Will Spider & Thread Veins Fade?

The response to microsclerotherapy is gradual rather than immediate.

Treated vessels may initially appear darker or more noticeable before they begin to fade.

Improvement can continue over several weeks, and some vessels may take approximately 6–12 weeks to settle.

How Many Sessions May Be Needed?

This varies according to the number, size, depth and distribution of the vessels and individual response to treatment.

Some clients may see a noticeable response following one session, while additional treatment may be appropriate for more extensive networks of veins.

Complete clearance cannot be guaranteed.

Sun Protection

Follow the aftercare advice provided regarding sun and tanning exposure while the area heals.

Follow Your Advice

Individual aftercare instructions should be followed carefully after your appointment.

INFORMED TREATMENT

Sclerotherapy Side Effects & Risks

As with any treatment, sclerotherapy has potential side effects and complications.

Temporary effects can include bruising, tenderness, redness, localised swelling, firmness along a treated vessel and skin discolouration.

Other complications can occur less commonly, which is why assessment, medical history and appropriate aftercare are important.

Relevant risks and contraindications will be discussed as part of your treatment assessment.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I wholeheartedly recommend Mariam from belle clinic. Mariam is a teacher who genuinely teaches and supports her students with all her heart. I truly believe there are very few training academies that provide such a high level of personal attention combined with outstanding professionalism. She generously shares all the knowledge and experience she has gained over the years with every one of her students. She is an amazing person, an exceptional educator, and incredibly patient. She will happily stay beyond class hours to explain everything until you fully understand and feel confident. With Mariam, what seems impossible becomes possible. As a practitioner, she is equally outstanding. Every patient who visits her is in the best hands because she genuinely cares. Your health and wellbeing always come first, and then she helps you achieve the best aesthetic results possible. She has extensive knowledge and experience in treating a wide range of aesthetic concerns and is always committed to achieving the best outcome. Personally, I completed my training with her from Level 3 all the way to Level 7, and I couldn’t be happier with my experience. I highly recommend both her academy and her exceptional professionalism in aesthetic treatments. She is truly one of the best.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I recently had cheek filler, a carbon laser treatment and a skin booster at Belle Clinic, and I’m so happy with the results! My cheeks look amazing and I’ve already had so many compliments on how glowing my skin looks. She explained everything so well, knew exactly what would suit me, and was incredibly professional, lovely and welcoming. Great prices too. Highly recommend - I’ll definitely be back for more treatments! ❤️

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I’m so happy with my Endolaser results at Belle Clinic! From the moment I arrived, the team made me feel comfortable, informed, and completely at ease. Everyone was so professional, friendly, and genuinely cared about making sure I had a great experience. I was amazed by how good the results looked instantly, and I know they’ll continue to improve over the coming weeks. The difference is already so noticeable, and I’m absolutely thrilled with the outcome so far. I couldn’t recommend Belle Clinic enough to anyone thinking about having Endolaser. Thank you for such an amazing experience!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I had chin and cheek filler done and the whole experience was amazing. The treatment was virtually painless, and I’m so happy with the results. She was incredibly professional, took her time to explain every step of the procedure, and made sure the filler was placed safely and correctly throughout. I felt completely at ease and knew I was in good hands. I would highly recommend her to anyone considering filler treatments!
