Are unsightly thread veins making you keep your legs covered up?

Spring is just around the corner, and it’s time to start preparing for the season of skirts, dresses, and sunny days! If thread veins are making you self-conscious, Southface Skin Clinic has the perfect solution to help you feel confident again: Sclerotherapy, the gold standard treatment for troublesome veins.


What is Sclerotherapy?

Sclerotherapy is a safe, minimally invasive treatment designed to eliminate unsightly veins. During the procedure, a specialised solution (sclerosant) is injected into the affected veins. This solution causes the veins to collapse and fade over time as your body naturally reabsorbs them. 


Why Choose Sclerotherapy?

Sclerotherapy has been trusted for decades as one of the most effective treatments for vein concerns. Here’s why it’s the gold standard:

  • Minimally Invasive: No need for surgery or general anesthesia—just simple, targeted injections.
  • Quick Recovery: Most patients experience minimal downtime and can resume their daily activities almost immediately.
  • Proven Results: Sclerotherapy delivers consistent, long-lasting improvements in the appearance of veins.
  • Safe and Effective: With a high safety profile, sclerotherapy is considered one of the most reliable treatments for vein-related concerns.
  • Expert Care: At Southface Skin Clinic, your treatment is handled by Maria Cork, our highly skilled Vascular Nurse Specialist.
