Watch Spider Veins disappear in front of your eyes as Dr. John Tan perform injection sclerotherapy

Injection sclerotherapy has been used to treat varicose veins since 1930’s. Yet it is still the most effective and popular method for treatment of spider veins and ugly blue veins. During this procedure, an extremely fine and usually painless needle is placed into the vein. A small amount of sclerosing solution is then injected into the vein. This solution causes irritation of the lining of the vein wall, which causes the vein to spasm and become a small fibrous thread, resulting in permanent closure of the vein. These closed veins will be absorbed by the body and typically disappear in 1-3 months.
In THE VEIN CLINIC, this time proven technique is combined with state of the art imaging equipment to further enhance its accuracy and effectiveness. For deep underlying veins, we used High Resolution Ultrasound Machines to provide a visual window, so that medication can be administered onto precise locations. For veins located just beneath the surface, we use the Vein-lite, a special imaging device that uses Advanced Transillumination Technology, to guide our needle for enhance accuracy.
For spider veins, we have been able to achieve >90% clearance and up to 98% patient satisfaction.
