Sclerotherapy Vein Treatment in SoHo
Sclerotherapy remains one of the most reliable treatments for visible veins. At StudioMD in SoHo, our team uses careful injection techniques and updated vascular protocols to soften the look of spider veins and small varicose veins. The goal is simple: clearer, healthier-looking skin that blends naturally with your tone and texture.
What Is Sclerotherapy Vein Treatment?
Sclerotherapy uses a specialized solution injected directly into unwanted veins using an extremely thin needle. The medication irritates the lining just enough for the walls to close, allowing the body to gradually absorb the vein. Treatments typically last 20–30 minutes, and most patients return to normal activity immediately with only minimal discomfort.
Using a delicate needle, a sclerosing agent is delivered into the vein to gently damage the interior lining. This causes the vessel walls to seal and collapse. The body then treats the vein as inactive tissue and gradually clears it. Improvements often appear within two to twelve weeks, depending on vessel size.
Treatment Success and Longevity
On average, patients see an 80–90% improvement in treated veins. Once properly closed, those veins do not return. However, because some people are naturally prone to new vein formation, additional vessels can develop over time. Many SoHo patients choose yearly check-ins for simple maintenance.
Preparing for Treatment
Before your session, avoid aspirin, ibuprofen, vitamin E, and aloe-based products for about ten days unless your provider advises otherwise. Your consultation includes a review of medical history, medications, and suitability for treatment.
Post-Treatment Guidelines
You may resume daily activity right away. Some patients benefit from brief compression stocking use depending on vein size and pattern. Walking is strongly encouraged because it improves circulation and minimizes pressure on superficial veins. Most individuals require two to four sessions for optimal softening and fading.

Dr. Qazi and her entire staff have warm and welcoming demeanors, a high degree of hospitality, positive attitudes, always smiling and acting with the utmost level of respect, patient care, and making each patient feel special. They focus on client comfort and take their time with each person answering any and all questions. Dr. Qazi never rushes her appointments. She takes the time to listen to every concern and is thorough in each interaction I've had with her. She gave me her personal cell number so even during nights and weekends if a concern or question arises I am able to contact her for a mini evaluation of my issue or answering of my questions. The care I've received has continued long after the procedure was completed and I am so glad that I chose her to do my tummy tuck and liposuction. The results are outstanding and she is the only one I would trust to do any cosmetic procedures going forward.

I went to StudioMD's midtown location for laser tattoo removal. Jennifer is extremely personable, she ensured expectations for the amount of sessions needed for removal as well as ensured my comfort during the treatment. I chose to purchase a package for 6-sessions, and would consider seeking other treatments from StudioMD in the future. Would definitely recommend them to others, and in particular recommend working with Jennifer.

I recently had a SmartLipo procedure with Dr. Khan at Studio MD, and I could not be happier with the entire experience. From my very first consultation to the post-op follow-ups, Dr. Khan demonstrated exceptional professionalism, skill, and care. What really stood out to me was his communication. He took the time to explain the procedure thoroughly, answer every single question I had (and I had a lot!), and never made me feel rushed. He made sure I understood exactly what to expect before, during, and after the procedure, which gave me tremendous peace of mind. Dr. Khan's attention to detail is second to none. He was incredibly meticulous with his work, ensuring that everything was done with precision and care. I felt completely confident in his hands, and the results have exceeded my expectations. His thoroughness also extends to aftercare. He gave me clear post-op instructions, and made sure my recovery was smooth. You can tell he genuinely cares about his patients and takes pride in delivering excellent outcomes. If you're considering SmartLipo or any cosmetic procedure, I highly recommend Dr. Khan. His expertise, communication, and attention to every little detail make him one of the best in the field. Thank you, Dr. Khan and the team at Studio MD!

I recently went into StudioMD to have a procedure done by Dr. Khan. Specifically, I wanted to treat excess fat in my abdominal area and decided to opt for smart lipo. Dr. Khan is very sure of himself as a doctor, which put a lot of my woes to the side. This was my first large cosmetic surgery, so I was extremely nervous. On the day of my procedure, I was delayed because some events were happening in the city, and Dr. Khan and his nurses were extremely accommodating. They let me take my time (I had to pee and just couldn't because of nerves until 2 minutes before surgery) and even gave me pep talks and stress balls to calm my nerves. When we got to work, it was quick and effortless. Dr. Khan allowed me to ask as many questions as I wanted and even called the next day to see how I was doing. They prescribed meds that were ready for pickup immediately and even gave me additional meds that I asked for pain management just in case. One of the amazing nurse technicians even text me afterward and shared her favorite shapewear and other things to help with recovery. I know many of these things seem like, "yeah, they should do that", but I've seen a lot of practices that don't. I also felt the price was fairly affordable since I've seen similar pricing outside of NYC. I'm beginning to feel beautiful in my body again, and I am so thankful to Dr. Khan and his staff. I'll be back soon for some other small cosmetic procedures I want to keep up.

I was referred to Dr. Khan to have neck liposuction and decided to also have my midsection done to correct uneven results from another doctor. Understanding that revision work can be difficult... my expectations were low. I could see immediately after the surgery just how much he improved my situation. Dr Khan operates with the confidence of a seasoned professional. You really can't go wrong with this guy.
“I had my lipo with Dr Khan yesterday and today I can already see the desired changes in my waist and belly area ,I am happy with his performance”
Recovery
Downtime is generally minimal. Temporary redness, mild swelling, or slight bruising may occur but typically fade quickly. Some veins may look more noticeable before they lighten, which is a normal part of the process. Occasional short-term tenderness improves with gentle walking.
Allergic reactions to the solution are extremely rare, and your provider will stop treatment immediately if one occurs. Before your first session, we review all possible side effects so you feel confident and informed.
Results
Vein fading continues steadily over two weeks to three months as the body breaks down treated vessels. Because new veins can form naturally, many patients schedule yearly evaluations to maintain smooth, even-looking legs. With proper aftercare, sclerotherapy offers meaningful cosmetic improvement for most individuals.
