Sclerotherapy is a medical procedure used to treat spider veins. It involves injecting a solution, typically a salt solution, directly into the affected veins. The solution irritates the lining of the blood vessel, causing it to collapse and stick together, eventually turning into scar tissue that fades from view. This procedure is minimally invasive and is often performed in a doctor's office. Sclerotherapy can improve the appearance of veins and alleviate related symptoms such as pain, swelling, and cramping. The treatment is generally safe and effective, with minimal downtime required for recovery.
Sclerotherapy is a method of treatment for spider veins in which a solution called a sclerosants is injected into the veins to cause eventual closing of the vein making it disappear.
Spider veins or telangiactasia are small veins under the skin usually developing from dilated blood channels connected with underlying larger veins. These dialated blood vessels can sometimes result in an undesireable appearance on the legs.
No. You may experience mild discomfort at the injection site but patients generally do not find this to be a painful treatment.
30 mins
Immediately after the treatment, patients must walk for 20-30 mins and continue this practice daily to encourage best results. Compression stockings must be worn immediately after treatment, slept in for the first night, and worn daily for one week post-treatment.

what to expect
Consultation
Your sclerotherapy journey starts with a thorough consultation, where we assess your concerns, review your medical history, and determine if sclerotherapy is the best treatment for your spider veins. We’ll examine the affected areas, discuss your goals, and explain how the procedure works. You’ll also receive personalized recommendations, including the number of sessions needed for optimal results. This is a great time to ask any questions and ensure you feel confident moving forward.
Treatment
Sclerotherapy is a minimally invasive procedure that involves injecting a specialized solution directly into unwanted veins. This solution causes the vein walls to collapse and gradually fade from view. The treatment typically takes 30 minutes. You may feel a mild tingling or cramping sensation during the injections, but discomfort is minimal. Once complete, a compression stocking or bandage may be applied to support the healing process.
Post Treatment
After sclerotherapy, it’s normal to experience mild swelling, bruising, or redness at the injection sites, which typically resolves within a few days. Some veins may temporarily darken before fading, and you might feel slight tenderness or firmness in the treated areas. To support healing, you’ll be advised to wear compression stockings daily for one week, avoid hot baths or saunas, and stay active with gentle 20-30 min daily walks to promote circulation.
Follow up
Most patients require multiple sessions to achieve optimal clearance of their veins. Treatments are usually spaced 4–6 weeks apart, allowing time for the body to process and absorb the treated veins. During your follow-up appointments, we’ll assess your progress, address any concerns, and adjust your treatment plan if needed. As your results develop, you’ll notice a gradual improvement in the appearance of your skin.
Maintenance
While sclerotherapy provides long-lasting results, new veins may develop over time due to genetics, lifestyle, or other factors. Maintaining a healthy weight, staying active, and wearing compression stockings as needed can help prevent future vein concerns. Periodic touch-up treatments can also keep your legs looking clear and smooth. We’re here to guide you through long-term care and ensure you maintain beautiful, lasting results.
