Sclerotherapy for Varicose and Spider Veins

What is sclerotherapy?

Sclerotherapy is a minimally invasive vein treatment performed to eliminate spider or varicose veins. During the procedure, a sclerosing solution is injected into the problem veins. This solution causes an irritation to the inner lining of the vein, ultimately causing it to collapse. Over time, the treated vein fades away.

Benefits of sclerotherapy:

  • Minimal discomfort
    Most patients experience mild discomfort during and after the procedure. Pronox (laughing gas) is available to minimize discomfort.
  • Quick treatment time
    Sclerotherapy sessions typically last about 30 minutes, allowing you to resume your daily activities promptly after the vein treatment.
  • Long-lasting results
    Treatment results of sclerotherapy for spider and varicose veins can last for several years. However, new spider veins may develop over time.
  • Improved self-confidence
    Say hello to renewed confidence with a more even skin tone after your vein treatment.

Effective results!

Sclerotherapy FAQs

  • Am I a good candidate for sclerotherapy?

    If you're pregnant or have a history of blood clots in the treatment area, sclerotherapy is not recommended.

  • How many treatments will I need?

    The number of treatments required depends on the severity of your spider or varicose veins. Most patients require multiple treatments for optimal results.

  • What is the recovery time for sclerotherapy?

    There is minimal downtime associated with sclerotherapy injections. You can usually resume normal activities immediately after the treatment.

  • When will I see results from sclerotherapy?

    You may start to notice a difference from sclerotherapy injections within a few weeks, and the full effects are often visible within several months.

  • What should I expect after sclerotherapy?

    You may experience mild swelling, bruising, or itching at the injection sites. These side effects are typically temporary.

  • What aftercare do you recommend following a sclerotherapy treatment?

    We advise you to wear compression garments following your sclerotherapy procedure. This is to help reduce swelling, speed up the healing process and improve your results.

  • What areas of the body can sclerotherapy treat?

    Other than spider veins in the legs, sclerotherapy injections can be used to eliminate those in the hand, arms, chest, feet, and ankles.
