Say goodbye to unsightly thread veins—commonly known as spider veins—and hello to clearer, more confident skin. At House of Beauty, we specialise in sclerotherapy, a gold-standard treatment for reducing the appearance of larger thread veins on the legs, thighs, and knees.

Whether you’re dealing with stubborn blue or purple veins or a network of fine red vessels, our expert team is here to help you take control of your skin again, comfortably and effectively.

Treatment summary

  • Targets: Blue, purple, or red thread veins (typically legs, thighs, backs of knees).

  • Recovery: Mild redness and bruising may last 2–3 weeks.

Who is a good candidate for sclerotherapy?

Sclerotherapy is an ideal option for those dealing with larger or deeper thread veins, which may not respond well to laser treatment. These veins often appear as blue or purple lines under the surface of the skin and are most commonly found on the legs.

You may be a good fit for treatment if:

  • You are self-conscious about visible thread or spider veins on your legs.
  • Your veins are persistent and do not fade on their own.
  • You are not pregnant or breastfeeding.
  • You are not currently taking blood thinners (such as aspirin).
  • You are willing to follow aftercare instructions, including wearing support stockings.

Each treatment plan is customised to your specific vein type and skin condition to ensure safe, effective, and long-lasting results.

What to expect from your sclerotherapy procedure

Every journey begins with a comprehensive consultation where we assess your vein severity and map out the best treatment plan tailored to your needs.

Consultation

We’ll assess the size, location, and extent of your thread veins to determine whether sclerotherapy is the right solution for you.

Treatment

A special medical solution is injected directly into the visible veins using a very fine needle. This causes the vein to collapse and gradually fade as it is reabsorbed by the body.

Aftercare

After your session, you’ll need to:

  • Wear class 2 compression stockings for one full week.
  • Avoid strenuous exercise for 5 days.
  • Expect some temporary bruising or redness, which usually resolves within 2–3 weeks.

Your provider will explain everything you need to know about caring for your legs and achieving the best possible results.

FAQs

Does sclerotherapy hurt?

Most clients describe the feeling as a small pinch or mild stinging at the injection site. Discomfort is minimal, and the procedure is generally well-tolerated.

How many sessions will I need?

Typically, 3–4 sessions are required for best results, spaced 4–6 weeks apart. You may notice visible improvement after just one session, depending on the severity of the veins.

What do I need to do before my appointment?

Avoid tanning (sun or fake) for at least 2 weeks prior to treatment. Purchase class 2 compression stockings in advance—your pharmacist can advise you if you’re unsure.

Are the results permanent?

Treated veins are permanently closed off and will not return. However, new veins may develop over time due to factors like ageing, genetics, or lifestyle. Occasional maintenance sessions can help keep your legs clear.
