Those web-like clusters of red, blue, or purple veins on your legs aren't just cosmetic. Spider vein treatment with sclerotherapy eliminates these visible veins while addressing the underlying vascular dysfunction, so your legs look and feel better.
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 for both cosmetic and symptomatic relief.
Reticular veins are the larger blue-green feeder veins that sit just beneath the skin and often supply nearby spider veins. Sclerotherapy treats these reticular veins directly, which improves the appearance of the surface veins they feed and helps prevent them from returning.
Our precise leg vein treatment uses medical-grade sclerosing agents to safely and effectively close unwanted veins. Spider vein injections are placed directly into the targeted spider, reticular, and small varicose veins, so blood reroutes to healthier vessels and the treated veins fade.
Using ultra-fine needles, Dr. Menon carefully injects an FDA-approved sclerosing solution directly into the targeted veins. This is the core of spider vein injections: a meticulous technique that distributes the sclerosant evenly through the treated vein while keeping discomfort low.
The sclerosing solution irritates the lining of the vein, causing it to collapse and seal shut. This closes off the problematic vein so blood is redirected to healthier vessels nearby, providing both cosmetic and symptomatic relief.
Effective leg vein treatment starts with a thorough evaluation of your vein condition, including a visual examination in both sitting and standing positions and a medical history review. This identifies the best approach for your specific vein pattern and sets realistic expectations.
After treatment, treated veins are gradually reabsorbed by the body and fade from view. Most patients see significant vein improvement within 3 to 6 weeks, with final results visible after 2 to 3 months, guided by our aftercare instructions and follow-up.
Careful, results-focused vein care from board-certified specialists, with follow-up to keep your legs healthy over the long term.

We guide you through every step of your vein elimination journey with clear expectations and professional care.
During your first visit, we conduct a detailed assessment of your vein concerns, medical history, and treatment goals. We examine your leg veins in both sitting and standing positions to identify all areas requiring treatment and develop your personalized sclerotherapy plan.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Sclerotherapy targets problem veins directly, causing them to collapse and fade from view over the weeks after treatment. Most people need more than one session, and how much clearing you see depends on the size and number of veins treated.
Avoid surgical procedures with this minimally invasive alternative. Sclerotherapy requires only tiny needle injections, eliminating the risks and recovery time associated with vein surgery.
Complete treatment sessions in just 15-30 minutes with no downtime required. Resume normal activities immediately while your treated veins gradually disappear over the following weeks.
Successfully treated veins are reabsorbed by the body and generally do not come back. New veins can still develop over time, and those can be addressed with additional sessions.
Restore smooth, clear skin on your legs and boost your confidence. Eliminate unsightly spider veins and small varicose veins that have been limiting your clothing choices and activities.
Experience relief from aching, burning, and heaviness in your legs. Many patients notice improved circulation and reduced leg discomfort along with cosmetic enhancement.

The cost of sclerotherapy depends on your specific insurance plan and whether your treatment is cosmetic or medically necessary for symptoms like aching, swelling, or pain. Medicare is accepted directly. For all other insurers, our staff verifies your benefits for free before your visit, so you know your real out-of-pocket cost up front.
For purely cosmetic spider vein treatment, which is typically self-pay, we offer flexible payment options and explain the numbers plainly. Start by requesting a 10-minute call or asking us to verify your benefits, so you know exactly where you stand before you commit.
