Sclerotherapy, on the other hand, is a method applied by injecting drugs into thicker veins. This should be done 2 times with an interval of 1 month. Sclerotherapy needles are very thin like the needles used in botox applications, so they do not cause pain.
Although the duration of treatment varies according to the size of the area treated with laser capillaries, it usually takes 30-60 minutes. A slight pain, burning, stinging will be felt during the application. During the laser, the vein can be seen to fade and contract.
