What Is Sclerotherapy and How Does It Work?

Sclerotherapy is a modern procedure for treating varicose disease that eliminates spider veins (telangiectasias), reticular veins, and small varicose nodes without surgery.
During the procedure, the doctor injects a special medication — a sclerosing agent — into the vein, which “seals” the vessel walls from the inside.
Modern technologies make the procedure safe, painless, minimally invasive, and free from the need for lengthy recovery.

At Phlebos, the following techniques are used:

  • Microsclerotherapy — a method used to remove the smallest telangiectasias and vascular networks.
  • Innovative CLACS Method (Cryo-Laser & Cryo-Sclerotherapy) — a combination of laser therapy, sclerotherapy, and cooling for maximum results.
  • Foam Sclerotherapy (foam-form) — used to treat larger superficial veins thanks to the special foam formulation of the medication.

How Does the Consultation and Selection of the Sclerotherapy Method Work?

  • Medical history collection
  • Diagnostic examination – duplex ultrasound scanning (DUS)
  • Diagnosis
  • Individual treatment plan with recommendations on the technique, medication, and compression garments

Stages of the Disease and Indications for Sclerotherapy

(C0–C1)

Early stage of varicose veins.
Appearance of vascular networks, spider veins, and capillary webs. Typically, there is no visible vein enlargement, but cosmetic imperfections are present.
A vascular surgeon may choose microsclerotherapy, classical sclerotherapy, or the innovative CLACS method.

(C2)

Clinically expressed varicose veins.
Visible veins and small varicose nodes. Symptoms include heaviness, fatigue, and pain.
Minimally invasive treatment methods are recommended: endovenous laser coagulation (EVLC) and radiofrequency ablation (RFA).

(C3)

Moderate varicose veins.
Frequent swelling, a feeling of heaviness and fullness in the calf muscles.
Solution: Minimally invasive treatment methods are recommended: endovenous laser coagulation (EVLC), radiofrequency ablation (RFA), or miniphlebectomy.

(C4–C6)

Advanced varicose veins.
Significant changes in skin color and texture, darkening, dermatitis, and a high risk of trophic ulcers and chronic complications.

CLACS – an Innovative Technique for the Removal of Telangiectasias

The introduction of the new CLACS technique has been a breakthrough in the treatment of telangiectasias. CLACS is a combined method that targets subcutaneous veins using the Fotona XP Dynamis Nd:YAG laser along with microsclerotherapy. No scars or marks – the skin becomes smooth, free of spider veins and vascular networks.
Regenerative processes are activated within the first days, and regular check-ups with a phlebologist help prevent potential contraindications and complications.
With no incisions and fast recovery, you can return to your active lifestyle the same evening after the procedure by simply wearing compression garments.

Who Is the CLACS (CLaCS) Sclerotherapy Procedure Suitable For?

  • Early stages of varicose veins — the initial manifestations of the condition, when there is slight dilation of superficial veins but no serious valve dysfunction or deep vein involvement.
  • Vascular networks and “spider veins” (telangiectasias) — thin red or blue vessels on the legs that are not only a cosmetic concern but also a sign of impaired venous circulation.
  • Reticular veins and capillary networks — small superficial veins of blue or greenish color, which typically don’t cause severe symptoms but affect aesthetics and may progress into varicose veins.

What Problems Does Sclerotherapy Solve?

Patients with asymptomatic venous disease may seek treatment for varicose veins in the lower limbs due to cosmetic concerns, a family history of varicose disease, or for the prevention of potential venous complications.
Based on the initial examination, candidates are identified for miniphlebectomy either as a standalone procedure or in combination with minimally invasive methods to eliminate venous reflux: EVLC, RFA, or ultrasound-guided sclerotherapy.
Sclerotherapy is not just a cosmetic procedure. It effectively eliminates early signs of chronic venous insufficiency, reduces symptoms, and slows the progression of varicose disease without surgery.

Sclerotherapy: How the Procedure Works

Our doctors apply sclerotherapy based on the extent of venous damage, the results of duplex ultrasound scanning (DUS), and the individual characteristics of each patient.

Consultation and DUS Diagnostics

A vascular surgeon conducts a consultation and ultrasound examination of the veins to determine the optimal treatment strategy.

1
Selection of treatment method and prescription of additional examinations

Collection of medical history and diagnosis, identifying varicose tributaries, reticular varicose veins, and feeder veins supplying telangiectasias.

2
Sclerotherapy procedure

Innovative sclerotherapy – CLACS (CLaCS) – is a combination of laser therapy (targeting subcutaneous veins with the Nd:YAG Fotona XP Dynamis laser), microsclerotherapy, and cooling.

3
Second procedure

A follow-up procedure is scheduled one month later. The patient receives recommendations regarding physical activity and the date of the follow-up examination.

4
Rehabilitation

Within 24 hours after sclerotherapy, it is recommended to wear medical compression hosiery to ensure proper graduated compression.

5
Follow-up examination with ultrasound guidance

Thanks to modern equipment and the professionalism of our doctors, the patient receives the desired clinical, cosmetic, and aesthetic result after the procedure.

Contraindications

Sclerotherapy is a safe and minimally invasive procedure. However, there are clinical situations in which it is not advisable or should be temporarily postponed.
Before starting the sclerotherapy procedure, the doctor assesses and excludes potential risks to ensure the safest treatment option.

Main contraindications for sclerotherapy:

  • Deep vein thrombosis. The presence of thrombotic changes requires alternative therapy.
  • Active inflammatory skin conditions. In cases of phlebitis or dermatitis, sclerotherapy is postponed until full recovery.
  • Pregnancy and breastfeeding. Due to physiological changes in the venous system, sclerotherapy is recommended after breastfeeding has ended.
  • Allergy to sclerosing agents. If there is an allergy to sclerosing substances, alternative methods are selected.
  • Severe systemic diseases of the heart, liver, or lungs. The decision on sclerotherapy is made individually after consultation with related specialists.

Отзив Леся Чёрная

Lesia Chorna

I recently had surgery performed by Serhii Petrovych.
To be honest, I was quite nervous before the procedure. While already on the operating table, I got scared that I might not be able to go through with it. But thanks to the doctor’s professionalism — and, I believe, his ability to sense how I was feeling — everything went quickly and almost imperceptibly. Dr. Shchukin Serhii Petrovych skillfully started a conversation about life, gently drew me into it... and just like that, the surgery was over.
A huge THANK YOU!!!
I hope the recovery process will be just as smooth and unnoticeable.
Once again — THANK YOU!!!

I’m very glad that, on a friend’s recommendation, I ended up at this clinic for my surgery, which took place on 28.10.21.
A wonderful team — and Dr. Honcharov V.L., a young specialist who truly knows his field. Attentive and professional medical staff. I especially appreciated that the doctor thoroughly answered all of my questions, both before and during the procedure.
During the surgery, when I was feeling nervous, the nurses and medical assistant Dmytro helped calm me down.
I sincerely thank you for creating such a warm and reassuring atmosphere during the operation — something that is always stressful for any patient.
When you come to this clinic, you can truly feel that your health and comfort matter.
Now I’m in the post-operative period, under the attentive care and clear guidance of the doctor.
Wishing you continued success, growth, and many grateful patients!
