Feel more confident showing your legs again.
Spider veins can be frustrating, especially when they make you feel hesitant to wear what you want. Sclerotherapy helps reduce the appearance of visible veins by treating them directly, allowing them to fade over time. If you’re ready for clearer-looking legs and a treatment plan designed around your needs, then a sclerotherapy consultation is the right next step.
What is Sclerotherapy?
Sclerotherapy is a non-surgical vein treatment that involves injecting a solution directly into spider veins or small varicose veins. This solution irritates the lining of the treated vein, causing it to close. Blood is then naturally rerouted through healthier veins, and the treated vein gradually becomes less visible over time.
In simpler terms: sclerotherapy helps your body clear away unwanted visible veins so your legs look smoother and more even.
Common Questions about Sclerotherapy
Sclerotherapy is commonly used for spider veins and small varicose veins, especially on the legs. Your provider will determine whether your veins are appropriate for treatment or if another vein evaluation is needed.
Most patients tolerate treatment well. You may feel a small pinch or mild stinging during the injections, but discomfort is typically brief.
Treated veins fade gradually. Some veins may improve within weeks, while others can take longer. Results vary depending on the size of the veins and your individual response.
Many patients need a series of treatments for the best cosmetic improvement, especially if there are multiple areas or clusters of veins.
Downtime is usually minimal, but you may have temporary redness, bruising, tenderness, swelling, or discoloration around the treated areas. Your provider will give you aftercare instructions to support healing.
