Microsclerotherapy Leeds
Spider Vein & Thread Vein Treatment
Spider veins and thread veins are harmless – but for many people they are a source of genuine self-consciousness, particularly on the legs. Microsclerotherapy is the gold-standard treatment for these small superficial vessels: a precise, minimally invasive procedure with a well-established evidence base and a long record of safe clinical use.
What Microsclerotherapy
Can Do
Clear spider and thread veins
Fine red, purple, or blue vessels treated precisely at the source.
Legs and body
Suitable for superficial veins in most areas below the face.
Lasting results
Treated vessels collapse, are reabsorbed, and do not return.
Minimal disruption
No anaesthetic, no significant downtime, walking encouraged immediately.
How It Works
Treatment works by injecting a sclerosant solution directly into the affected vessel using a very fine needle. The sclerosant irritates the inner wall of the vessel, causing it to collapse and seal. Over the following weeks, the sealed vessel is gradually reabsorbed and fades from view. Multiple vessels can be treated in a single session, though several sessions are usually required – particularly where there are larger clusters or feeder vessels to address alongside the superficial veins.

Why Choose Dr Sebastian Bejma Aesthetics?
Microsclerotherapy is a medical procedure that requires accurate knowledge of venous anatomy, appropriate patient selection, and precise injection technique. At Dr Sebastian Bejma Aesthetics in Leeds, every patient is assessed before treatment to confirm that superficial microsclerotherapy is appropriate for their presentation. Where there is any clinical concern about underlying venous disease, further assessment is recommended before proceeding.
Aftercare
| After treatment | Walk immediately after treatment – leg movement supports circulation and aids the treatment process. |
| For 48 hours | Avoid strenuous exercise, hot baths, saunas, and sunbathing. |
| During the healing period | Redness, some itching over the treated area is normal and a sign the vessels are responding – avoid scratching. The area may look worse before it looks better – bruising and darkening in the first few weeks is a normal part of the process. Avoid sun exposure to treated areas during healing to reduce the risk of post-inflammatory pigmentation. |
