Aura Medical Clinic offers sclerotherapy in Tirana to reduce spider veins, visible capillaries and selected superficial veins. Treatment aims to improve the appearance of the legs without surgery and is planned after an individual assessment by the specialist.
The distribution of veins is different in every patient. The area, type of vessels, number of sessions and expectations are therefore discussed before treatment begins.
Sclerotherapy is an aesthetic medical treatment performed by controlled injection of a sclerosing solution directly into the vein to be treated. After application, the vessel gradually closes and is naturally absorbed by the body.
Treated veins do not necessarily disappear immediately. They fade gradually over the following weeks as the body continues its natural elimination process.
Sclerotherapy may be used for:
Not every vein is treated with the same method. The specialist needs to determine the vessel’s type, size and location, and the overall condition of the venous system before recommending the procedure.
The consultation begins with an examination of the area and a discussion of medical history. Assessment helps determine which vessels can be treated, the technique and concentration of the substance, and the expected number of sessions.
When necessary, a vascular assessment with Doppler ultrasound may be recommended to better understand venous circulation and determine the treatment strategy.
Patients should inform the specialist about their symptoms, previous treatments, medication and supplements they use, and any other health problem that may affect the plan.
The process includes:
The technique and amount of the substance are adapted to the patient’s anatomy and characteristics.
After the procedure, patients receive personalised instructions on caring for the area, physical activity, sun exposure and any other measures recommended by the specialist. Following these instructions helps manage the period after treatment and assess progress.
The appearance of the veins changes gradually. At the check-up, the specialist assesses the response of the treated vessels and decides whether the plan needs to continue.
The number of sessions depends on the number, size and type of veins. In some cases, several sessions may be needed to treat different areas or achieve the planned result.
The interval and continuation of treatment are determined individually after assessing the patient’s response.
Sclerotherapy is used for selected superficial veins and is performed without surgery. Varicectomy of the lower limbs is a separate surgical procedure. Aura’s specialists determine the appropriate method according to the case and venous assessment.
