Sclerotherapy is a medical procedure used to eliminate varicose veins and spider veins. Sclerotherapy involves an injection of a solution (generally a foamed sclerosant) directly into the vein. The solution irritates the lining of the blood vessel, causing it to collapse, stick together, and clot. Over time, the vessel turns into scar tissue that fades from view.
