At Chirkoz Polyclinic Bratislava, we offer vein sclerotherapy, a modern, minimally invasive treatment for spider veins and smaller varicose veins. The treatment is safe, effective, and is one of the most commonly used procedures in vascular and aesthetic medicine.
What is vein sclerotherapy?
A special sclerosing solution is injected into the affected vein. It closes the vein, which is gradually absorbed and becomes invisible. Blood flow is naturally redirected to healthy veins.
Sclerotherapy is suitable for treating:
- spider veins,
- small varicose veins,
- reticular veins,
- selected forms of chronic venous insufficiency.
When is sclerotherapy appropriate?
We recommend the treatment for patients with:
- visible spider veins on the legs,
- smaller varicose veins,
- heavy legs,
- swelling of the lower limbs,
- aesthetic concerns caused by enlarged veins.
Before treatment, a vein ultrasound examination is recommended to determine the most suitable treatment.
How is vein sclerotherapy performed?
After the examination, the doctor injects the solution directly into the affected vein with a fine needle. The outpatient procedure requires no anesthesia and takes approximately 15 to 30 minutes. The patient goes home without hospitalization.

Spider vein sclerotherapy
Sclerotherapy effectively removes small red, blue, or purple spider veins and improves the overall appearance of the legs.
