VARICOSE VEINS TREATMENT
Sclerotherapy Treatment
Sclerotherapy is an effective treatment for spider vein removal. It's often considered the treatment of choice for painful varicose veins.
Sclerotherapy is primarily done for cosmetic purposes to improve the appearance of spider veins on the legs. The procedure can also improve related varicose vein symptoms such as aching, swelling, burning, and even night cramps.
Sclerotherapy involves injecting a solution directly into the damaged vein. The Sclerotherapy solution causes the damaged varicose vein to collapse and scar, forcing blood to reroute through healthier veins. The collapsed vein is then reabsorbed into local fades.
After Sclerotherapy, treated spider veins tend to fade within a few weeks. In some cases, it may take a month or more to see the full results and several spider vein injections may be needed.
How to Prepare for Sclerotherapy Treatment
Before the Sclerotherapy procedure, avoid shaving or applying any lotion to your legs. Wear loose comfortable clothing to your appointment or consider wearing shorts so your legs are exposed.
What to Expect from Vein Sclerotherapy
If your spider veins are found to be appropriate for Sclerotherapy treatment, a numbing solution will be applied to the area. A tiny needle will be used to inject the sclerosing agent into each varicose vein that requires treatment.
When You Can See Spider Vein Improvements
After the varicose veins treatment, results can typically be seen in 3 to 6 weeks. The spider vein injection may cause bruising and mild discomfort, however, these side effects typically disappear after a few days.
Follow Up for Varicose Vein Removal
After your first 30 minute Sclerotherapy for varicose veins, your provider will schedule a follow up in 4 to 6 weeks to determine if any further spider vein removal treatment may be needed.
