Hospitals and Cost of Spider Veins (Sclerotherapy) in India

Sclerotherapy in India

Sclerotherapy is a treatment in which an irritating chemical known as a sclerosing agent is injected into enlarged veins. What this chemical does is that it leads to the formation of fibrous tissues by inflammation of the vein and closing the central channel of the vein.

This is what we also call spider veins which can be seen as little, damaged veins on the legs. They are not life-threatening but many people get them operated for improving the appearance of their legs. This is done by closing small spider veins that have increased in number under increased venous blood pressure. Spider veins may have a reddish or bluish color with the appearance of that of small branches or spider legs.
