What is Sclerotherapy?

Sclerotherapy is a procedure that targets unwanted spider veins and small varicose veins. A specially formulated solution (sclerosant) is injected directly into the affected veins during the treatment. The solution irritates the vein's lining, causing it to collapse and eventually be reabsorbed by the body. Over time, this process leads to clearer, more even-toned skin free from visible veins.

What Does the Treatment Involve?

Sclerotherapy is a simple, in-office procedure that requires no anesthesia. The treatment typically takes 30-60 minutes, depending on the size and number of veins being treated.

Dr. Hovsepian carefully injects the sclerosant into the veins using a fine needle. Although you may experience a mild stinging sensation during the injections, the process is generally comfortable.

Spider Vein Treatment Recovery and Results

After the sclerotherapy treatment, patients can typically return to their regular activities almost immediately. However, to promote optimal healing and improve results, compression stockings are often recommended to support the treated veins and enhance circulation.

Mild side effects, such as redness, swelling, or bruising at the injection site, are common and usually subside within a few days.

Many patients observe a noticeable enhancement in the appearance of their veins within a few weeks post-treatment. However, further treatments may be required for larger veins or multiple areas of concern.

To promote optimal healing, limiting prolonged sun exposure and intense exercise for a brief time after the procedure is advisable.

Sclerotherapy FAQ

Is sclerotherapy painful?

Most patients experience minimal discomfort during the procedure, feeling only a mild stinging or burning sensation when the solution is injected. Afterward, some patients may experience slight bruising or tenderness, which typically resolves in a few days.

How many treatments will I need?

Many patients see significant improvement after just one treatment. However, additional sessions may be needed depending on the severity and number of spider veins. Your provider will assess your condition and recommend the appropriate number of treatments.

How soon will I see the results?

For smaller spider veins, results from sclerotherapy can typically be seen within 3 to 6 weeks. Larger veins may take a bit longer, up to 3 to 4 months, to fade completely.

Are the results permanent?

While the treated veins do not return, sclerotherapy does not prevent the formation of new veins. If new spider veins appear, additional treatments may be necessary in the future.

Are there any side effects or risks?

Sclerotherapy is generally safe, but as with any procedure, there are some risks. Temporary side effects may include bruising, swelling, or minor skin discoloration. Serious complications are rare but can include allergic reactions or blood clots.
