Sclerotherapy

Over 80 million Americans suffer from symptoms related to unsightly, painful varicose and spider veins. Sclerotherapy can be performed safely and effectively, and remains the "Gold Standard" for treating spider veins.  Patients will see a significant improvement with only one treatment,however, some patients may require a few treatments depending on the severity and quantity of the veins.

What is sclerotherapy?

Sclerotherapy is a simple procedure where veins are injected with a sclerosing solution, which causes them to close and thereby fade. The procedure may also remedy the bothersome symptoms associated with spider veins, including aching, burning, swelling and night cramps. The treatment only eliminates veins that are no longer used, so there are no effects on blood circulation.

How quickly will I see results?

Results occur immediately after treatment. Once the swelling subsides, after a few days, the results are even better.

Is there downtime associated with a sclerotherapy treatment?

Compression tape or compression stockings may be worn for one to three days after the procedure. Otherwise, there is no downtime. Hot showers, spas, swimming, and sun exposure should be avoided three to seven days post treatment. Patients can resume normal activity immediately after the treatment.
