Microsclerotherapy Treatment in Auckland

Microsclerotherapy is a targeted treatment used to reduce the appearance of spider veins and small reticular veins on the legs. These fine veins are common and can develop due to genetics, hormonal changes, pregnancy, or prolonged standing. While they are usually harmless, many people seek treatment for comfort and cosmetic reasons. At Delphi Clinic, microsclerotherapy is performed by experienced clinicians using precise techniques designed to treat visible veins while supporting overall vein health.

What Is Microsclerotherapy?

Microsclerotherapy is a medical procedure that involves injecting a specialised solution directly into small surface veins. This solution causes the vein walls to seal together, allowing the body to gradually reabsorb the treated vein over time. As circulation is redirected to healthier veins, the visible vein fades and becomes far less noticeable.

This treatment is commonly used for spider veins and small reticular veins that are not suitable for laser therapy alone.

How Microsclerotherapy Works

During a microsclerotherapy session, a very fine needle is used to inject the sclerosant solution into the affected veins. The process is controlled and precise, allowing individual veins to be treated accurately.

Over the following weeks, the treated veins gradually collapse and are absorbed by the body. Results develop progressively, with improvement continuing for several weeks after treatment.

Conditions Treated with Microsclerotherapy

Microsclerotherapy is most commonly used to treat:

  • Spider veins on the legs
  • Small blue or green reticular veins
  • Residual veins following other vein treatments
  • Cosmetic vein concerns related to venous insufficiency

A full vein assessment is always completed before treatment to ensure microsclerotherapy is appropriate for your specific condition.

Radiofrequency Ablation

Radiofrequency ablation uses heat to close varicose veins, allowing blood to reroute through healthier vessels. It’s a procedure with a fairly quick recovery and minimal downtime, making it a popular treatment option.

Endovenous Laser Ablation

Endovenous Laser Ablation (EVLA) is a highly effective, minimally invasive treatment offered at Delphi Clinic. The treatment area is prepared, and a sterile solution, Chlorhexidine, is applied, followed by a sterile drape. To ensure comfort, a local anaesthetic is administered before a thin laser fibre is inserted into the affected vein under ultrasound guidance. Once the catheter is properly positioned, a second tumescent anaesthetic is used to numb and cool the area, ensuring you feel no discomfort…

Ultrasound Guided Sclerotherapy

Ultrasound-guided sclerotherapy injects a foam solution into varicose veins, causing them to collapse. This targeted, non-surgical procedure effectively treats visible veins with minimal discomfort and recovery time, offering long-lasting, noticeable results.

What to Expect During Your Treatment

Before treatment begins, your clinician will assess your veins and discuss your goals, medical history, and expected outcomes. This ensures the treatment plan is tailored to your needs.

The procedure itself is usually completed within 30 to 45 minutes, depending on the number of veins being treated. Most people describe the sensation as mild discomfort or a brief stinging feeling during injections.

Compression stockings are typically recommended after treatment to support healing and improve results.

Recovery & Aftercare

This is a minimally invasive treatment with little downtime. Most patients can return to normal daily activities shortly after their appointment.

You may notice mild bruising, redness, or tenderness around treated areas. These effects usually settle within a short period. 

Walking is encouraged after treatment, while strenuous exercise and prolonged sun exposure should be avoided for a short time.

Your clinician will provide clear aftercare guidance to support recovery and long-term results.

How Many Sessions Are Needed?

The number of sessions required varies from person to person. Some patients see noticeable improvement after a single session, while others may require multiple appointments depending on the extent and pattern of their veins.

Your treatment plan will be discussed during your consultation, so you know what to expect from the outset. Our team will provide comprehensive aftercare instructions to minimise side effects and ensure optimal healing.

Is Microsclerotherapy Safe?

This well-established medical treatment is safe when performed by trained clinicians. At Delphi Clinic, patient safety is prioritised at every stage, from assessment through to aftercare.

A thorough consultation ensures the treatment is suitable for you, and only clinically approved solutions are used.

FAQs

What is direct microsclerotherapy used for?

This approach is used to treat small spider veins and fine reticular veins, most commonly on the legs. It is suitable for veins that lie close to the skin surface and appear as red, blue, or purple lines. It may be performed for cosmetic reasons or to help relieve symptoms such as aching, swelling, itching, or minor bleeding

Is direct microsclerotherapy painful?

Most patients describe the treatment as mildly uncomfortable rather than painful. A fine needle is used, and you may feel a brief stinging or burning sensation during injections. Any discomfort is usually short-lived and well-tolerated.

How long does a session take?

A typical session takes 30- 45 minutes, depending on how many spider veins are being treated. The procedure is performed in-clinic and does not require hospital admission.

How soon will I see results after treatment?

Results develop gradually. Treated veins often begin to fade over several weeks as the body reabsorbs them. Some veins may respond more quickly than others, and continued improvement can be seen for several months following treatment.

Will I need more than one treatment?

Many patients require more than one session to achieve their desired result, particularly if multiple areas are affected. The number of treatments needed depends on the extent of spider veins and how your veins respond. This will be discussed during your consultation.
