Pain Points & Agitation
Visible spider veins
"My legs look like they have tiny veins everywhere." They may feel self-conscious wearing shorts, skirts or dresses because the veins are noticeable.
Veins becoming more noticeable over time
"Why are these veins getting more obvious?" Watching the veins become more prominent can create frustration and make them feel that the problem is getting worse.
Feeling embarrassed about their legs
"I don't feel confident showing my legs anymore." They may avoid certain outfits, photos, holidays or activities where their legs are exposed.
Makeup or concealer doesn't really solve it
"I can cover it, but it keeps coming back." Covering veins can be inconvenient, especially in hot weather, at the beach or during everyday activities.
Tried creams or home remedies without much improvement
"I've tried so many things, but nothing seems to make a difference." This can leave patients feeling frustrated and unsure what actually works for visible veins.
Concern about wearing shorts / skirts
"I used to wear whatever I wanted." They may gradually change their wardrobe simply to hide their legs.
Feeling older than they are
"My legs make me look older". Visible veins can affect how patients perceive their overall appearance and confidence.
Worried about treatment being painful
"Will the injections hurt?" Fear of needles or discomfort may cause them to keep postponing treatment.
Worried about downtime
"I don't want a treatment that keeps me away from work or my normal routine." Concerns about bruising, swelling or restrictions can become a reason to delay treatment.
Unsure whether their veins can actually be treated
"Is this something I just have to live with?" Lack of information can make patients accept visible veins as permanent and never seek professional assessment.
Wanting clearer-looking legs without surgery
"I want something effective, but I don't want a major procedure." They may be looking for a minimally invasive option that fits into their lifestyle.
Precision Vein Treatment
Sclerotherapy is a minimally invasive treatment for visible spider veins and small reticular veins. A medical-grade sclerosant solution is carefully injected into targeted veins, causing them to close and gradually fade from view as the body naturally processes them.
Targeted sclerosant injections are carefully administered to selected veins to help reduce their visibility over time.
A Treatment Plan Made for You
At Pure Touch Clinic, treatment is tailored to the appearance and distribution of your veins following a medical assessment.
Your veins are assessed individually so that treatment can be tailored to your specific concerns, vein pattern and desired outcome.

Social Proof: Before & After Results
Treatment Process / What to Expect
Consultation & Vein Assessment
Your doctor will assess the appearance, size and distribution of your visible veins and determine whether sclerotherapy is appropriate for you.
Depending on your vein pattern, further vascular assessment or ultrasound may be recommended.
Treatment Planning
The veins to be treated are carefully identified and mapped.
Your doctor will determine the appropriate sclerosant and treatment approach based on the type and size of the veins.
Precise Sclerosant Injection
The treatment area is cleansed before a very fine needle is used to inject the sclerosant directly into the selected veins.
You may feel a brief pinching sensation or mild burning/discomfort during injection.
Immediately After Treatment
The treated area may appear temporarily red, swollen or bruised. Some veins may look darker or more noticeable initially as part of the healing process.
Depending on your treatment, compression may be recommended, and walking soon after treatment is commonly encouraged.
Gradual Improvement
Sclerotherapy results are not immediate. Treated spider veins commonly begin to improve over several weeks, while larger veins can take longer.
Some patients may require more than one treatment session depending on their vein pattern and response.
Immediately after
- Mild redness or swelling around injection sites
- Possible bruising or tenderness
- Some treated veins may temporarily appear darker
- You can generally return to normal activities, depending on your doctor's advice
- Walking is generally encouraged after treatment
Over the following days to weeks
- Bruising and tenderness gradually settle
- Some treated veins may feel slightly firm or lumpy temporarily
- Brownish pigmentation can occasionally develop along treated veins
- The appearance of the treated veins gradually improves
Over the following weeks to months
- Treated veins progressively become less visible
- Final improvement takes time and varies between individuals
- Additional sessions may be recommended for residual veins or new veins that develop
Sclerotherapy is a gradual process. Rather than expecting an immediate change, allow your body time to naturally clear the treated vessels and reveal progressively clearer-looking skin.

Individuals bothered by the appearance of superficial veins

Contraindications & Recovery

Frequently Asked Questions
01. What is sclerotherapy?
Sclerotherapy is a minimally invasive treatment for certain visible superficial veins, particularly spider veins and small reticular veins. A sclerosant solution is injected into selected veins, causing them to close and gradually fade as the body naturally clears them.
02. Is sclerotherapy painful?
Most patients experience only mild, brief discomfort, such as a small pinch or stinging sensation during the injections. Your comfort will be considered throughout the treatment.
03. How long does a sclerotherapy session take?
A typical session may take around 30-60 minutes, depending on the number and size of veins being treated.
04. How many sessions will I need?
The number of sessions varies depending on the number, size and type of veins, as well as how your body responds to treatment. Your doctor will recommend an appropriate treatment plan after assessment.
05. When will I see results?
Results are gradual rather than immediate. Treated veins may initially appear more noticeable before progressively fading over the following weeks to months.
06. Is there any downtime?
Sclerotherapy generally involves minimal downtime. Most patients can return to their usual daily activities, although your doctor may recommend temporary restrictions on certain activities depending on your treatment.
07. What can I expect after treatment?
It is normal to experience some redness, swelling, bruising, tenderness or temporary darkening around treated veins. These effects usually improve gradually during the healing process.
08. Will the treated veins come back?
A successfully treated vein generally does not reopen, but new spider or superficial veins can develop over time. Sclerotherapy treats existing visible veins rather than preventing new ones from appearing.
09. Can sclerotherapy treat all types of veins?
Not necessarily. Sclerotherapy is commonly used for spider veins and certain small reticular veins, but larger or deeper veins may require a different approach. Your doctor will assess your veins and determine whether sclerotherapy is suitable.
10. Can I exercise after sclerotherapy?
Walking is generally encouraged after treatment. However, strenuous exercise and certain activities may need to be limited temporarily. Follow the specific aftercare instructions provided by your doctor.
11. Can I have sclerotherapy if I am pregnant?
Sclerotherapy is generally not recommended during pregnancy. If you are pregnant, planning pregnancy or breastfeeding, inform your doctor during your consultation.
12. Is sclerotherapy suitable for everyone?
No. Suitability depends on your medical history, vein type, circulation and other individual factors. A consultation is important before treatment to determine whether sclerotherapy is appropriate for you.
13. Do I need to wear compression stockings after treatment?
Compression may be recommended depending on the veins treated and your individual circumstances. Your doctor will advise you on whether compression is appropriate and for how long.
14. What should I do before my treatment?
Your doctor will provide personalised preparation instructions. During your consultation, inform the clinic about your medications, allergies, previous vein treatments and relevant medical conditions so your treatment can be planned safely.
15. When should I contact the clinic after treatment?
Contact the clinic promptly if you experience significant or worsening pain, marked swelling, unusual skin changes, or symptoms that concern you after treatment. Seek urgent medical attention for symptoms such as sudden chest pain, difficulty breathing or significant leg swelling/pain.
