FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Sclerotherapy

Sclerotherapy is used to treat spider veins in the legs. Sclerotherapy involves injecting a solution directly into the vein. The solution irritates the lining of the blood vessel, causing it to close when compression is applied.

Am I a Candidate for Sclerotherapy?

Many patients who have spider veins in their legs are candidates. Prior to treatment, you will have an initial consultation to determine if sclerotherapy is the right treatment for you.
The eligibility of those patients who have a medical history of blood clotting will be determined on an individual basis. Sclerotherapy is not a treatment path for those who are currently pregnant.

How is Sclerotherapy Performed?

The sclerosing solution is injected through a very fine needle directly into the vein. The procedure itself takes approximately thirty minutes.

Are There Side Effects to Receiving Sclerotherapy Treatment?

Side effects of sclerotherapy treatments includes some minor swelling in the legs in addition to itching, which can last for one to two days. Bruising can also occur around the injection site.

How Long Will the Sclerotherapy Effects Last?

Sclerotherapy is a great option for treating small to medium-sized leg veins. Anywhere from 50-70% of injected veins may be eliminated in one session, although it takes up to two months before the final results are seen. Treatments hold no guarantee for 100% success, and multiple treatments are almost always necessary. Once a vein is closed from sclerotherapy, it dissolves and will not reappear. However, new veins eventually will form, requiring maintenance treatment from time to time. Most treated patients will develop new veins more slowly than they would if they had not had sclerotherapy.
