What is Sclerotherapy?
How does Sclerotherapy work?
Sclerotherapy works through a simple, effective process
Targeted Injection
A very fine needle injects a pharmaceutical sclerosant solution directly into the problem vein
Vein Irritation
The solution irritates the inner walls of the vein, causing them to swell and stick together
Vein Collapse
The vein walls seal shut, and blood flow is immediately redirected to healthier veins nearby
Natural Absorption
Over the following weeks, your body naturally breaks down and absorbs the collapsed vein tissue
Gradual Fading
The treated vein gradually fades from view, leaving clearer, smoother skin
What Vein Conditions Does Sclerotherapy Treat?
Spider Veins (Telangiectasias)
What they are: Small, thin, web-like veins visible just beneath the skin’s surface.
Appearance: Red, blue, or purple thread-like lines.
Common locations: Legs, thighs, ankles, behind knees, occasionally face.
Causes: Genetics, hormones, pregnancy, standing jobs, aging, and sun exposure.
How sclerotherapy helps: Permanently eliminates visible spider veins for clearer skin.
Reticular Veins
What they are: Slightly larger blue or purple veins (1-3mm diameter) that often “feed” spider veins.
Appearance: Blue-green veins visible through the skin.
Common locations: Thighs, back of legs, ankles.
How sclerotherapy helps: Treats the source veins to prevent spider veins from returning.
Small Varicose Veins
What they are: Mildly enlarged veins that may bulge slightly or cause discomfort.
Symptoms: Aching, heaviness, burning, throbbing, swelling, and leg fatigue.
How sclerotherapy helps: Collapses small varicose veins to improve both appearance and symptoms.

How long do sclerotherapy results last?
Treated veins are gone permanently
once a vein is collapsed and absorbed, that specific vein will never return!
However: New spider veins can develop over time due to:
✅ Genetic predisposition
✅ Hormonal changes (pregnancy, menopause, birth control)
✅ Aging and weakening vein walls
✅ Prolonged standing or sitting
✅ Weight gain
✅ Sun exposure
Maintenance treatments
every few years can keep legs looking clear and smooth. Many clients return annually or as needed to treat newly developed veins.
Prevention tips:
✅ Wear compression stockings during long periods of standing
✅ Maintain healthy weight
✅ Exercise regularly to improve circulation
✅ Elevate legs when resting
✅ Avoid crossing legs for extended periods
✅ Use sunscreen to prevent facial spider veins
