What Is Sclerotherapy?

Sclerotherapy is a nonsurgical treatment that uses an injectable solution to target spider veins and small varicose veins. The solution irritates the inner lining of the vein, causing it to collapse and be reabsorbed by the body, eventually disappearing from view.

Am I a Good Candidate for Sclerotherapy?

A consultation helps determine whether sclerotherapy is the best method for your vein concerns. We assess vein size, skin tone, medical history, and whether deeper vein issues are present. Ideal candidates include the following:

  • Adults with visible spider or reticular veins
  • Individuals with minor leg discomfort or heaviness
  • Patients without deep vein disease or clotting conditions
  • Those not pregnant or breastfeeding
  • People looking for nonsurgical cosmetic improvement

What to Expect During Your Appointment

We begin with a vein evaluation to determine treatment areas and an injection strategy. Then, you’ll be able to lie comfortably while we use a fine needle to inject the sclerosant solution into targeted veins.

  1. Consultation and vein mapping
  2. Cleansing of the treatment area
  3. Injection of solution into spider veins
  4. Compression applied with medical stockings
  5. Resume light activity post-treatment

Recovery and Results

You may experience mild bruising or raised, red skin after injections. Compression stockings are worn for several days to aid healing. Treated veins begin to fade within three to six weeks, with full results visible in two to three months. Some patients need multiple sessions for complete clearance.

Subtypes of Sclerotherapy

We tailor our sclerotherapy approach based on the size and location of your veins.

  • Liquid Sclerotherapy
    The standard solution is for small veins near the skin’s surface.
  • Foam Sclerotherapy
    A thicker solution is used for slightly larger or more stubborn veins.
  • Ultrasound-Guided Sclerotherapy
    Targets veins not visible at the surface using real-time imaging guidance.

Alternative or Related Procedures

Noninvasive light therapy is used to treat facial or leg veins without needles.

Used for larger varicose veins deeper in the leg, often for symptomatic cases.

Supports circulation and vein health using medical-grade compression garments.

Autologous Conditioned Plasma (ACP)

Often used alongside other aesthetic procedures to enhance healing and skin renewal.

Sclerotherapy Frequently Asked Questions

Will the veins return after treatment?

Treated veins usually do not return, though new veins can develop over time. Maintenance may be needed.

Does sclerotherapy hurt?

Most patients describe a mild stinging or burning sensation. The needle is very fine, and the discomfort is brief.

Can I exercise after treatment?

Light walking is encouraged, but avoid strenuous workouts or hot baths for a few days.

How soon can I wear shorts or dresses again?

Treated areas may look bruised for a few weeks. Most patients feel confident showing skin again in about four to six weeks.

What are the risks of sclerotherapy?

Risks include bruising, swelling, skin discoloration, or allergic reaction. Rare risks include blood clots or scarring.

Can sclerotherapy treat bulging varicose veins?

Not usually—larger veins may need a different approach, such as ablation or surgery.
