Q: Spider vein treatment side-effects?
A:
The main side effect of sclerotherapy is residual pigmentation, which is caused by a blood pigment called haemosiderin. Very few people are quite prone to developing this complication, but in this group it can be impossible to avoid. Aggressive massage begun two weeks after the treatment can sometimes help, and one of the pigment removing lasers can be used if necessary.
