Sclerotherapy is a safe, effective, and minimally invasive treatment used to reduce the appearance of spider veins and small varicose veins. During the procedure, a specialized solution is injected directly into the affected veins, causing them to collapse and gradually be reabsorbed by the body. Over time, the treated veins fade from view, leaving the skin looking clearer and more even.
The treatment is performed in the office and typically takes about an hour, depending on the number of veins being treated. Most patients experience little discomfort and can return to normal daily activities shortly after the procedure.
Multiple treatment sessions may be recommended to achieve the best cosmetic results. Mild redness, bruising, or temporary discoloration can occur but usually resolves within a few weeks.
