What is it?
This is a technique for treating visible leg veins that involves injection of a solution that causes the veins to close and collapse.

Is it painful?

Are results immediate?
There is usually some redness after treatment. This fades after a few days. The full benefits of treatment are seen after about 6 weeks.
