Spider Veins

Sclerotherapy is a procedure used to treat varicose veins and spider veins. A solution is injected into the veins during the procedure, causing them to collapse and eventually fade away. The process is relatively simple and typically takes between 30 and 60 minutes. First, the area to be treated is cleaned, and a small needle is used to inject the solution directly into the veins. After the injection, pressure is applied to the area to help prevent blood from flowing back into the treated veins. Compression stockings may also be recommended to help with healing and reduce the risk of complications. While there may be some discomfort during the procedure, most patients can resume their normal activities shortly afterward. Sclerotherapy is a safe and effective treatment option for varicose and spider veins.

After undergoing treatment for small varicose veins or spider veins, you can expect to see noticeable results within three to six weeks, while larger veins may take up to three to four months to show improvement. It's important to note that multiple treatments may be necessary to achieve your desired results. Additionally, veins that have responded to treatment typically do not return, but new veins may appear over time. A follow-up visit is usually scheduled about a month after treatment to determine whether additional sessions are necessary. Generally, you should wait at least six weeks before undergoing another sclerotherapy session.
