Sclerotherapy is a medical procedure designed to treat spider veins and small varicose veins. During this minimally invasive procedure, a solution is injected directly into the affected veins. This causes them to collapse and ultimately disappear. The solution used in sclerotherapy irritates the lining of the vein, leading to its closure and the rerouting of blood to healthier veins. This procedure is very effective in reducing spider veins on the legs, face, and other areas where these veins may appear. Sclerotherapy is performed in a clinical setting and does not require anesthesia, making it a convenient option for those who want to improve the appearance of their skin.
Sclerotherapy is suitable for individuals who are bothered by the appearance of spider veins and small varicose veins. Most patients begin to experience improvement within a few weeks, with full results typically visible after a few months. The results of sclerotherapy are long-lasting, especially when combined with proper post-treatment care, like wearing compression stockings as well as avoiding prolonged periods of standing or sitting. Additional treatments may be needed if new veins develop over time. To schedule your sclerotherapy session at Kaua’i Medspa in Kapaʻa, HI, and achieve clearer skin, book an appointment today.
During sclerotherapy, spider veins and small varicose veins are collapsed and eliminated by injecting a solution into the affected veins.
Multiple sessions are required for optimal results after sclerotherapy. Results usually begin to appear after a few weeks, with full results appearing after a few months.
Most patients experience minimal discomfort during sclerotherapy. Although the injection may cause a slight stinging sensation, it is generally well-tolerated and does not require anesthesia.
The results of sclerotherapy can be long-lasting, especially with proper post-treatment care. However, new veins may develop over time, which may require additional treatments.
Good candidates for sclerotherapy are individuals with spider veins or small varicose veins who are in good overall health. Pregnant women and individuals with certain medical conditions may not be suitable candidates.
It is rare for more serious complications, such as blood clots or allergic reactions, to occur following sclerotherapy. Sclerotherapy side effects are generally mild, including temporary redness, bruising, and swelling around the injection site.
