Reclaim Confidence When Vein Problems Affect Your Life
Professional sclerotherapy delivers effective solutions for vascular conditions that impact both your appearance and circulatory health.
Spider Vein Concerns
Those web-like clusters of red, blue, or purple veins on your legs aren't just cosmetic issues—they can indicate underlying circulatory problems. Our targeted sclerotherapy treatments eliminate these visible veins while addressing the root vascular dysfunction for comprehensive improvement.
- Facial and leg spider veins
- Web-like vein patterns on thighs and calves
- Red, blue, or purple thread veins
- Reticular veins (larger blue-green feeder veins)
- Post-pregnancy vein changes
Small Varicose Vein Issues
When small varicose veins cause aching, burning, or heaviness in your legs, sclerotherapy offers an effective non-surgical solution. This treatment closes off problematic veins, redirecting blood flow to healthier vessels and providing both cosmetic and symptomatic relief.
- Aching or heavy feeling in legs
- Burning or throbbing sensations
- Small bulging or raised veins
- Leg fatigue after standing
- Cramping or restless legs
- Swelling around affected veins
Failed Cosmetic Treatments
If creams, laser treatments, or other cosmetic procedures haven't delivered the vein removal results you expected, sclerotherapy provides a proven medical approach. This FDA-approved treatment offers superior results for most spider and small varicose veins.
- Inadequate results from topical treatments
- Limited improvement from laser procedures
- Recurring veins after previous treatments
- Desire for definitive vein elimination
- Need for medical-grade vascular intervention
How Sclerotherapy Eliminates Problem Veins
Our precise injection technique uses medical-grade sclerosing agents to safely and effectively close unwanted veins.
Comprehensive Vein Assessment
We begin with a thorough evaluation of your vein condition, including visual examination and medical history review. This assessment helps us identify the best treatment approach for your specific vein pattern and determine realistic expectations for your sclerotherapy results.
Precise Injection Technique
Using ultra-fine needles, we carefully inject FDA-approved sclerosing solution directly into the targeted veins. The procedure is performed with meticulous attention to detail, ensuring optimal distribution of the sclerosant for maximum effectiveness with minimal discomfort.
Post-Treatment Monitoring
After your sclerotherapy session, we provide specific aftercare instructions and schedule follow-up appointments to track your healing progress. Most patients see significant vein improvement within 3-6 weeks, with final results visible after 2-3 months.

Non-Surgical Solution
Avoid surgical procedures with this minimally invasive alternative. Sclerotherapy requires only tiny needle injections, eliminating the risks and recovery time associated with vein surgery.

What to Expect: The Sclerotherapy Treatment Experience
We guide you through every step of your vein elimination journey with clear expectations and professional care.
Initial Vein Consultation
During your first visit, we conduct a detailed assessment of your vein concerns, medical history, and treatment goals. Our evaluation includes examining your leg veins in both sitting and standing positions to identify all areas requiring treatment and develop your personalized sclerotherapy plan.
Pre-Treatment Preparation
Before your procedure, we provide specific instructions about medications to avoid and proper skin preparation. On treatment day, we'll explain the process, answer any questions, and ensure you're comfortable before beginning your sclerotherapy session.
The Injection Process
Using ultra-fine needles, we carefully inject sclerosing solution into each targeted vein. Most sessions treat 15-20 veins and take 15-30 minutes to complete. You'll feel only minor pinching sensations during the injections.
Immediate Post-Care
After treatment, we apply compression and provide detailed aftercare instructions. You can walk and drive immediately, though we recommend avoiding strenuous exercise for 24-48 hours. Compression stockings may be recommended for optimal healing.
Results and Follow-Up
We schedule follow-up appointments to monitor your progress and determine if additional sessions are needed. Most patients see initial improvement within 2-3 weeks, with final results visible after 6-8 weeks. Some areas may require 2-3 treatment sessions for optimal clearance.
Frequently asked questions
What is the duration of sclerotherapy results?
Treated veins are permanently eliminated, but new spider or varicose veins may develop over time due to genetics, hormones, or lifestyle factors. Many patients enjoy results for several years, with new veins treatable through additional sessions.
What are the side effects of sclerotherapy?
Common temporary side effects include mild swelling, redness, or bruising at injection sites that typically resolve within a few days to weeks. Rarely, patients may experience temporary brown pigmentation along the treated vein that can last several months. Serious complications are extremely rare when performed by experienced practitioners.
When can I resume exercise after sclerotherapy?
You can start walking and light activities right after treatment. Avoid vigorous exercise, heavy lifting, and high-impact activities for 24-48 hours. Also, avoid swimming and hot baths for the first week to prevent infection.
Will I need multiple sclerotherapy sessions?
Most patients require 2-3 treatment sessions spaced 4-6 weeks apart to achieve optimal results. The number of sessions depends on the extent of your vein problem, vein size, and individual response to treatment. Some patients see excellent results after just one session, while others with extensive veins may need additional treatments.
Does insurance cover sclerotherapy treatments?
Sclerotherapy for purely cosmetic spider veins is typically not covered by insurance. However, if you have symptoms like pain, aching, or swelling related to your veins, insurance may provide coverage. Our staff will help verify your benefits and discuss payment options during your consultation.
