At Sagrat Cor University Hospital, Spider Veins (Sclerotherapy) is performed using specialized injection techniques and personalized assessment of the affected veins. Established in 1970, this accredited hospital in Barcelona, Spain has 323 beds and offers specialized vascular and cosmetic vein services.

Spider Veins (Sclerotherapy) may be considered for small, visible blood vessels that commonly appear on the legs and sometimes other areas. The specialist first examines the veins to determine whether sclerotherapy is appropriate. A fine needle is then used to introduce a sclerosant into the selected vessels. The solution irritates the vein lining, causing the treated vessel to collapse and eventually fade. Compression garments may be recommended after treatment depending on the treated area and clinical circumstances.
