UNDERSTANDING COSMETIC SCLEROTHERAPY

QUESTIONS & ANSWERS

  • WHAT IS SCLEROTHERAPY?

    Sclerotherapy is a proven medical procedure that uses specialized medications to treat spider veins and small varicose veins. The medication works by causing the treated veins to close, allowing your body to naturally redirect blood flow and gradually absorb the treated veins.

  • HOW DOES COSMETIC SCLEROTHERAPY WORK?

    Sclerotherapy uses specialized medications to treat unwanted veins:

    • Precise injections target specific veins
    • Treated veins naturally fade away
    • Effectively addresses spider veins and small varicose veins
    • Blood flow redirects to healthy veins

    Expert Insight: The precision of sclerotherapy allows us to target even the smallest spider veins, providing excellent cosmetic results while maintaining the health of your venous system.

  • WHAT DOES THE PROCEDURE ENTAIL?

     Our board-certified specialists perform sclerotherapy with meticulous attention to detail:

    • 20-30 minute office procedure
    • Walk-in, walk-out treatment
    • Customized medication selection
    • Multiple veins treated in one session

    Expert Insight: We carefully select the most appropriate sclerosing agent for your specific vein pattern, ensuring optimal results while maintaining maximum safety and comfort.

  • HOW MANY TREATMENTS WILL I NEED?

    The number of treatments depends on the extent and pattern of your veins. While many patients see significant improvement after just one session, a series of treatments spaced several weeks apart often provides optimal results. We'll create a customized treatment plan based on your specific needs.

  • WHAT DOES THE TREATMENT FEEL LIKE?

    Most patients experience minimal discomfort during treatment. The ultra-fine needles used for injection cause little sensation, and while some patients may feel mild stinging when the medication is introduced, this typically subsides quickly. No anesthesia is required.

  • WHEN WILL I SEE RESULTS?

    While some veins may show immediate response to treatment, optimal results typically develop over several weeks as your body naturally processes the treated veins. Continued improvement can be seen for up to several months after treatment.
