What Is Microsclerotherapy?

Microsclerotherapy is a minimally invasive injection technique designed to treat unsightly veins. A medical-grade solution is injected directly into the affected veins, causing them to collapse and gradually fade from view. It is considered the most effective and gold-standard approach for removing thread veins and reticular veins on the legs and hands.

Treatment step-by-step

Step 1: Consultation

During your initial consultation, Frances will conduct a detailed assessment of your veins, medical history, and aesthetic goals. She will create a bespoke treatment plan tailored specifically for your needs, ensuring realistic expectations and an optimised outcome.

Step 2: The Treatment Process

Using fine, precise injection techniques, Frances will administer the sclerosing solution into the unwanted veins. The treatment is comfortable, quick, and highly targeted, allowing for minimal disruption to surrounding tissues.

Depending on the number and size of the veins, you may require a series of sessions to achieve optimal clearance.

Step 3: Aftercare

You’ll receive detailed post-treatment instructions to support healing and maximise your results. Compression stockings are often recommended to help the veins close properly and reduce the risk of complications. Mild redness, swelling, or bruising is normal and usually subsides within a few days.

Step 4: Areas Treated

Leg Veins (Thread veins and larger reticular veins)
Hand Veins (Visible unsightly veins)

Frequently Asked Questions

Why Choose Aesthetics Lab for Vein Removal?

Gold-Standard Techniques – Microsclerotherapy remains the most effective treatment available.

How many sessions will I need to see results?

Most clients require 2–4 sessions, spaced several weeks apart, depending on the size, number, and severity of the veins. During your consultation, Frances will provide a bespoke treatment plan and realistic expectations based on your individual case.

Is it painful?

The procedure is generally very well tolerated. You may feel a slight pinching or stinging sensation during the injection, but it is brief. If you are particularly sensitive, Frances can adapt techniques to ensure your comfort throughout the session.

When will I see results after the treatment?

Treated veins typically begin to fade within 3–6 weeks, with continued improvement over the following months. Full results are usually seen after the treatment course is complete and the body has naturally absorbed the collapsed veins.

  I recently had a facial at Aesthetics Lab, and I can say that without a doubt it was the best treatment I have ever received. From the consultation which was very thorough, in which we discussed each of my concerns in depth, to the facial itself, which was incredible. I have had many facials in the past and none of them have been of this high standard. I was then recommended some products which I purchased from the clinic and have been using ever since. They have done wonders for my skin, and I will definitely be returning! I cannot recommend Aesthetics Lab enough, the staff are so lovely and accommodating and the treatments are fantastic!

  Emma and the aesthetics lab team are INCREDIBLE! I very rarely write reviews, but I am so happy with my experience with Emma, that I have to! I have recently been trying to explore how to optimise my skin. This is all new to me, so I was a bit hesitant and unsure going into the process. Unfortunately, I had a very bad experience at a different clinic with a facial-gone-wrong, and am dealing with ongoing acne as a result. I had nearly lost hope that skincare could be for me, but then I found Aesthetics lab!

Carolyn helped me with my initial consultation. She was very welcoming and empathetic to my situation, making me feel very comfortable. I had my first session the same day with Emma. I did a light treatment and the experience was fantastic. Emma immediately made me feel comfortable. She understood the concerns and hesitations that I had and was very patient answering my many questions. I felt very calm and could tell how experienced she was. I had such a great experience that I booked again and came back for my second treatment with Emma that same week. This time I got a hydra facial. It was again, a fantastic experience. I was so impressed with all of her knowledge on how the products work, her advice on what my skin might respond best to, and her understanding and empathy towards my situation. I really trust her and the advice that she gave towards my skincare routine. I have already seen improvements and am telling my friends to book their appointments with Emma! She is truly the best!

  I have recently finished a course of Laser Hair Removal with Aesthetics Lab and could not recommend it enough , from the moment I walked in the staff were so welcoming and professional. The clinic itself is accessible, modern and exceptionally clean.

I had 6 sessions targeting under my arms and legs which was painless and really effective with no redness or rashes which I have previously experienced when waxing, my only regret is I didn't visit sooner!!

  The staff are very welcoming and professional, and have made me feel at ease and relaxed during treatments. The clinic itself is lovely and clean, and clearly looks like it's kept up to a high standard. Ive had two treatments here so far, eyebrow semi permanent tattoo with Charli and laser hair removal with Charlotte and both therapists have been knowledgeable, experienced, and friendly, and I've been very pleased with the results of the treatments.
