Sclerotherapy
Sclerotherapy
As your valves weaken, varicose veins appear on your skin. Sclerotherapy is a medical procedure that treats spider veins and smaller varicose veins. A salt solution is injected into the varicose or spider veins, which causes them to shrink and fade. This minimally invasive treatment allows the healthy veins to continue the flow of fluids as your body reabsorbs the sealed veins.
The Science
There are many Sclerotherapy techniques to choose from, which allows a customized treatment plan tailored for you. The treatment area size and where it’s at on your body determine the type of solution chosen for your procedure. Smaller veins are treated with liquid sclerotherapy, while more prominent veins are treated with a foam solution. Sclerotherapy may be combined with other treatments to provide you with the most optimal results.
This treatment is recommended for patients who have visible spider and varicose veins. The solutions used in the procedure make all small and large veins disappear from within your skin for a more appealing appearance. It’s also great at relieving tension and mild aches.
The Treatment
Your Sclerotherapy treatment usually takes less than an hour to perform. During the procedure, you’ll be comfortably lying on your back. The treatment area is cleansed with mild soap, and the salt solution is carefully injected into the veins.
You may get mild stinging and irritation as the solution is injected into the vein. A cooling ointment is put on the treatment area and makes the procedure comfortable to combat these symptoms. The injected skin area is massaged to improve the solution’s flow. Ultrasound imaging ensures the solution properly goes into the vein.

FAQs
Which areas are treated?
The appearance of your veins are reduced on skins areas such as:
- Legs
- Hands
- Feet
- Arms
When will I see the results?
It depends on whether the veins are large or small. Larger veins get visible improvements in 3-4 months. While smaller veins completely fade in 3-6 weeks. After your first treatment, 60%-80% of the treated veins disappear.
How long does it take to recover?
It’s recommended that you walk daily to prevent blood clots from producing. If you get aches, it usually fades within a few days. You can continue your regular activities on the same day of the procedure.
How long do results last?
Veins that dissolve during your treatment will not likely reappear. It is common for the veins to re-route in nearby areas of the treated veins, so it is important to have follow-up appointments and understand that multiple treatments will be necessary.
Are there side effects?
Yes. You might get red areas that fade within a few days. If brown lines or spots appear on your skin, they disappear within 3-6 months. Bruising might occur on the treated area and lasts several days or weeks.
Post Injection Care
It is imperative to stay out of the sun for two weeks after your treatment. It is also important to wear compression pantyhose after your treatment. Your provider will provide detailed information regarding after-care.
