Sclerotherapy and Vein Treatment
Sclerotherapy is a highly effective procedure designed to address spider and small varicose veins, providing relief and enhancing the appearance of your legs.
The procedure is convenient, affordable and is done in-office to fit into your schedule. There is little or no down time.
During the in-office procedure, our experienced dermatologists will begin by carefully identifying the problem veins. A specialized chemical solution will then be skillfully injected directly into these veins. This solution triggers a controlled reaction within the vein walls, causing them to collapse and eventually seal shut. As a result, blood flow is redirected to healthier veins, improving overall circulation and reducing swelling. Over time, the treated veins are naturally absorbed by the body, leaving your legs looking smoother and revitalized. Our patient-centric approach ensures that your comfort is prioritized, and you’ll experience little to no downtime, allowing you to seamlessly resume your daily activities
Sclerotherapy Frequently Asked Questions
- What is sclerotherapy, and how does it work? Sclerotherapy is a non-surgical procedure that involves injecting a specialized solution into problem veins, causing them to close off. This leads to improved blood circulation and a reduction in swelling, resulting in smoother and healthier-looking legs.
- Are there any side effects associated with sclerotherapy? Sclerotherapy is a safe and well-tolerated procedure. Some patients may experience minor discomfort or temporary bruising at the injection site, but these effects typically subside quickly, allowing you to resume your daily activities with minimal downtime.
- Is sclerotherapy suitable for all types of leg veins? Sclerotherapy is particularly effective for treating spider and small varicose veins. Our skilled dermatologists will assess your condition during a consultation to determine if you’re a suitable candidate for this treatment.
- How long does a typical sclerotherapy session take? Sclerotherapy sessions are typically quick and convenient, usually lasting between 15 to 45 minutes, depending on the number of veins being treated. Since it’s an in-office procedure, it’s easy to fit into your schedule.
- When will I see results after undergoing sclerotherapy? You may start noticing improvements in the appearance of your treated veins within a few weeks of the procedure. However, optimal results may take a few months to fully manifest as the body naturally absorbs the treated veins.
What to Expect After Treatment
Sclerotherapy is a safe and minimally invasive procedure designed to fade spider veins by injecting a specialized solution into the affected veins. After treatment, mild redness, swelling, or bruising may occur but typically resolves within a few days. Most patients can return to normal activities right away, though avoiding strenuous exercise for 24 to 48 hours helps promote optimal healing.
Post-Treatment Care
- Wear compression stockings for several days after treatment to encourage healthy blood flow.
- Avoid long periods of standing or sitting immediately following the procedure.
- Steer clear of hot tubs, saunas, and direct sun exposure for several days.
- Apply gentle moisturizers or cool compresses if mild irritation occurs.
Following these instructions helps treated veins fade more efficiently and reduces the risk of temporary pigmentation.
How Soon You’ll See Results
Improvement typically appears gradually over the following weeks as treated veins collapse and are naturally reabsorbed by the body. Some patients may require multiple sessions for optimal results depending on the number and size of visible veins. Your dermatologist will outline an appropriate treatment schedule during your consultation.
Maintaining Long-Term Results
Although treated veins will not return, new veins may develop over time. Maintaining a healthy lifestyle with regular exercise, proper hydration, and leg elevation during rest can support long-term results. Using sunscreen on exposed skin also helps prevent additional vascular changes.
Confidence and Comfort Restored
Sclerotherapy improves the appearance of spider veins and may also relieve minor discomfort such as itching or heaviness in the legs. The procedure is quick, requires minimal downtime, and provides long-lasting benefits that help patients feel more confident in their skin.
