Vanish those veins with minimal downtime

Sclerotherapy: The Gold Standard for Spider Vein Treatment

July 07, 20261 min read

What Is Sclerotherapy?

During treatment, a specialized solution is injected directly into the affected vein. The solution irritates the inner lining of the vein, causing it to collapse and close. Over time, the treated vein fades as the body naturally absorbs it.

What Does It Do for Veins?

  • Closes problem veins: The injection causes targeted veins to collapse so blood reroutes to healthier veins

  • Improves appearance: Most patients see long-term cosmetic improvement in spider veins and small varicose veins

  • Minimal downtime: It’s a non-laser, in-office treatment that lets you get back to daily activities quickly

While laser therapy is often preferred for very small facial spider veins, sclerotherapy remains the top choice for leg veins due to its effectiveness and track record.
