Microsclerotherapy
Restore clearer, more even-looking legs with microsclerotherapy at Dr Ana – The Skin Clinic. Located in Birmingham’s Edgbaston Medical Quarter, our experienced team offers this precise, clinically led treatment to reduce the appearance of thread veins.
These fine red, purple, or blue vessels are extremely common and often become more noticeable over time, particularly on the legs. While they are not usually a medical concern, they can be difficult to conceal and rarely respond to creams or topical treatments.
It’s time for clearer looking legs
Our microsclerotherapy treatment is carefully designed to target visible thread veins using a precise injectable technique. A specially selected solution is introduced into the affected vessel using a very fine needle, encouraging the vein walls to close so that the body can gradually break them down and reabsorb them.
As the treated veins begin to fade, the skin appears clearer and more even in tone. This process takes time, with results developing gradually over a number of weeks. For many patients, a course of treatment is recommended, particularly when treating larger or more widespread areas.
Microsclerotherapy is designed to visibly reduce the appearance of thread veins on the legs. As treated vessels close and gradually fade, the skin appears clearer, more even, and less marked.
This treatment uses very fine needles and a carefully selected solution to accurately target each vein. Our practitioners work with precision to ensure controlled, effective treatment of even delicate superficial vessels.
Microsclerotherapy offers a minimally invasive alternative to more intensive procedures. There is no need for incisions or anaesthetic, and most patients return to their usual routine shortly after treatment.
Every pattern of thread veins is different. Some are fine and scattered, while others are connected to deeper feeder veins. We tailor your treatment plan following a detailed assessment to ensure the most appropriate and effective approach.
Results develop progressively, allowing the skin to improve in a natural-looking way. Treated veins may appear more noticeable initially, but this is part of the normal process as they begin to fade over time.
Explore the science of Microsclerotherapy at Dr Ana
Microsclerotherapy works by acting on the inner lining of the vein. Once the solution is introduced, it creates a controlled reaction within the vessel wall, causing it to seal shut. Blood is naturally redirected through healthier surrounding veins, and the treated vessel is gradually broken down by the body.
Results
The treatment is best suited to small, superficial thread veins rather than larger varicose veins. It also explains why patience is important. The body needs time to process and clear the treated vessels, and results tend to evolve rather than appear immediately.
Technique
What tends to make the biggest difference is careful technique and appropriate patient selection. We always prioritise a thorough assessment to ensure that microsclerotherapy is the right treatment for you before proceeding.

FAQs
All your Microsclerotherapy questions answered.
Microsclerotherapy is used to treat small superficial veins on the legs, often referred to as thread veins or spider veins. It is not suitable for larger varicose veins, which may require a different approach.
This varies depending on the extent of the veins and how your body responds. Some patients see good improvement after one session, but it is quite common to need a series of treatments for more complete clearance.
Results take time. Some veins begin to fade within a few weeks, while others take longer. It is also normal for veins to look more prominent initially before they settle.
Most patients tolerate microsclerotherapy well. The injections are very fine, but you may feel a brief stinging sensation. We always work at a pace that feels manageable.
Treated veins that respond well are unlikely to return in exactly the same way. However, new thread veins can develop over time, particularly if you are prone to them. Maintenance treatment may be considered in the future.
Not always. Suitability depends on the type of veins present and your overall health. This is why a proper consultation is essential before treatment is carried out.
