What Is Sclerotherapy?

Sclerotherapy is a minimally invasive procedure used to treat spider veins and small varicose veins. A specialized sclerosing solution is injected directly into unwanted veins, causing them to collapse and gradually be absorbed by the body.

Over several weeks, treated veins fade, revealing smoother, clearer skin.

Unlike some surface laser treatments, sclerotherapy targets underlying feeder veins, helping reduce recurrence.

Conditions We Treat

We treat:

• Spider veins on the legs

• Small varicose veins

• Reticular veins

• Superficial feeder veins

Larger or symptomatic varicose veins may require vascular evaluation prior to cosmetic treatment.

What to Expect During Treatment

Sclerotherapy is performed in-office and typically takes 20–45 minutes.

During treatment:

• A fine needle is used to inject the solution into targeted veins

• Mild stinging or cramping may occur briefly

• Compression stockings may be recommended afterward

• Most patients resume normal activity the same day

No general anesthesia is required.

Recovery & Results Timeline

After treatment, you may notice:

• Mild redness or bruising

• Temporary darkening of treated veins

• Gradual fading over 3–6 weeks

• Multiple sessions may be needed depending on the number and size of veins.

Walking is encouraged after treatment, while intense exercise may be limited briefly.
