What Is Sclerotherapy?

Sclerotherapy is a minimally invasive procedure used to treat varicose veins and spider veins. The treatment involves injecting a specialized solution directly into the affected vein, causing the vessel wall to collapse. Over time, the body naturally absorbs the closed vein, allowing it to gradually fade from view. This method is widely recognized for its strong safety profile, consistent results, and ability to treat both small and moderate vein concerns.

How Sclerotherapy Works

How the Solution Targets Unwanted Veins

Sclerotherapy uses a sclerosing solution that triggers controlled irritation inside the vein. This causes the vein walls to collapse, close, and eventually be absorbed by the body. Because the vein is no longer functioning, blood is naturally redirected to healthier vessels.

What to Expect During the Procedure

Your provider uses a very fine needle to administer precise injections into the targeted veins. Most appointments take 20 to 30 minutes. Patients typically describe the sensations as mild stinging or pressure that subsides quickly.

Treatment Areas

Sclerotherapy is commonly performed on the legs, including thighs, calves, and ankles. It may also be used for smaller spider veins on various parts of the body, depending on individual needs and vein visibility.

How Many Sessions Will You Need?

Most patients require more than one session for an optimal cosmetic result. The exact number of sessions depends on the size and number of veins, and appointments are generally spaced several weeks apart. Your provider will recommend the ideal treatment plan during your consultation.

Recovery and Aftercare

Sclerotherapy recovery is simple and requires no downtime. Patients can resume normal daily activities right away, including work, school, and errands. Mild bruising, slight redness, or temporary swelling at the injection sites is common and typically resolves within a few days. 

Some individuals may be advised to wear compression stockings for a short period to support circulation and enhance results. Avoiding hot baths, strenuous workouts, and direct heat for a few days can support the healing process and help the treated veins fade smoothly.


Expected Results

Most patients begin to notice improvements within several weeks, although the full fading process may continue for several months as the body clears the collapsed veins. Treated veins usually do not return, although new veins may appear over time due to genetics, lifestyle, or circulation patterns. With multiple treatment sessions and appropriate aftercare, sclerotherapy offers reliable and long-lasting cosmetic improvement.

The number of sessions depends on vein size, vein density, and your goals. Many patients need between two and four sessions spaced several weeks apart to experience their best improvement.

Are there any side effects?

Temporary redness, swelling, and superficial bruising are the most common side effects and resolve quickly. More significant effects, such as allergic reactions or clotting, are rare and will be discussed during your consultation.
