What Is Sclerotherapy?

Sclerotherapy is a safe and effective treatment for spider veins and varicose veins. During the procedure, a medical solution is injected directly into the affected veins, causing them to collapse and gradually fade from view. This minimally invasive vein treatment has been trusted for decades to improve both the appearance and comfort of legs.

Benefits of Sclerotherapy

Sclerotherapy is one of the most popular vein treatments because it:

• Reduces the appearance of spider veins and small varicose veins
• Relieves leg pain, swelling, and cramping
• Requires no surgery and little to no downtime
• Provides long-lasting, natural-looking results

How the Procedure Works

A specialist uses a fine needle to inject a sclerosant solution into targeted veins. The treatment session usually takes less than an hour, depending on the number of veins being treated. Most patients experience only mild discomfort and can resume normal activities right after their appointment.

Recovery and Results

After sclerotherapy, the treated veins gradually fade within a few weeks. Some patients may need multiple sessions for the best outcome. Minor side effects such as redness or bruising are common and temporary. Over time, blood reroutes through healthier veins, leaving your legs looking clearer and feeling better.
