What Is Foam Sclerotherapy?
Foam sclerotherapy is a minimally invasive medical procedure used to treat varicose veins and spider veins. The treatment involves injecting a sclerosing agent — a specialised solution that irritates the vein walls — in the form of a foam directly into the affected veins.
How It Works
-
The foam is created by mixing the sclerosing agent with air or gas.
-
When injected, the foam pushes blood out of the vein, allowing maximum contact with the vein walls.
-
This causes controlled inflammation and scarring, which makes the vein collapse.
-
Over time, the treated vein is naturally absorbed by the body.
Key Benefits
-
Highly effective for medium and larger veins compared to liquid sclerotherapy.
-
Foam can be visualised on ultrasound, allowing precise, targeted treatment.
-
Minimally invasive procedure performed in-clinic — no surgery needed.
-
Little downtime, with many patients returning to normal activities within a short period.
Common Uses
Foam sclerotherapy is typically recommended for:
-
Medium to large varicose veins
-
Recurrent veins after previous treatments
-
Use alongside other therapies such as endovenous laser treatment, when required
Possible Risks & Side Effects
Most side effects are mild and temporary:
-
Bruising, redness, or tenderness at the injection site
-
Temporary small lumps or skin discoloration
-
Rare risks include allergic reactions, blood clots, or temporary visual disturbance
Aftercare
Following foam sclerotherapy, you will need to wear medical compression stockings for 7 days. We also advise that you avoid driving for 24–48 hours after treatment.
