Elevated care for aesthetics, vein health, and wellness
Sclerotherapy
A refined, minimally invasive treatment for spider and small varicose veins
Sclerotherapy is one of the most effective minimally invasive treatments for spider veins and small varicose veins. This quick, in-office procedure is designed to improve both the appearance of visible veins and the symptoms that may come with them.
At Veins and Wellness Medical Group, sclerotherapy is performed with precision, comfort, and attention to natural-looking results.
What Is Sclerotherapy?
Sclerotherapy is a minimally invasive vein treatment that involves injecting a medical solution directly into the affected vein. This causes the vein to close gradually and be naturally reabsorbed by the body over time. Blood is then redirected to healthier veins, helping improve circulation and reduce the appearance of visible veins.
What Does It Treat?
Sclerotherapy is commonly used to treat visible surface veins that affect the appearance of the legs or cause mild symptoms such as aching or heaviness.
It may be recommended for:
- Spider veins
- Small varicose veins
- Reticular veins
- Visible veins associated with cosmetic or mild symptomatic concerns
What to Expect During Treatment
- Most treatments take approximately 20 to 45 minutes
- No general anesthesia is required
- Patients often describe only mild, brief discomfort
- Walking is usually encouraged immediately after treatment
Depending on the number and size of veins treated, more than one session may be recommended for optimal results.
When Will I See Results?
Treated veins gradually fade over time as the body reabsorbs them.
- Smaller veins may improve within 3 to 6 weeks
- Larger veins may take longer
- Some areas may require additional sessions
Results develop progressively, and final improvement may continue over several weeks.
Is There Downtime?
There is minimal downtime following sclerotherapy. Patients are generally encouraged to:
- Wear compression stockings as directed
- Avoid intense sun exposure on treated areas
- Maintain light activity, including walking
Temporary redness, mild swelling, or small areas of bruising may occur, but these effects typically resolve quickly.
Is Sclerotherapy Safe?
When performed by a trained medical provider, sclerotherapy is a safe and well-established treatment with decades of clinical use. A proper evaluation, including ultrasound when appropriate, helps ensure the correct veins are treated and that any underlying venous disease is identified and addressed appropriately.
Who Is a Good Candidate?
You may be a good candidate for sclerotherapy if you:
- Have visible spider veins
- Are bothered by the appearance of leg veins
- Experience mild leg discomfort
- Want a non-surgical treatment option
- Prefer an in-office procedure with minimal interruption to daily life
A consultation allows us to determine whether sclerotherapy is the right option for you or if additional vein treatment may be recommended.
