Learn how the treatment works and what you can expect during and after your visit.

What Is Sclerotherapy?

Sclerotherapy is a minimally invasive procedure used to reduce the appearance of varicose and spider veins. It treats visible veins using a targeted solution placed directly into the affected vein. The solution involves the vessel’s inner lining, encouraging it to close. Blood then flows into healthier veins nearby. The treated vein gradually fades over several weeks as your body absorbs it.

What are the causes of spider and varicose veins?

Several factors may contribute to spider and varicose veins in the legs:

  • Genetics
  • Hormone shifts
  • Prolonged sitting or standing
  • Pregnancy
  • Weight changes
  • Aging

How does sclerotherapy work?

Veins are injected with a medicated solution that causes the vein to collapse and be reabsorbed by the body. The solution affects the treated vein so it can no longer hold blood. Once the vein closes, it becomes less visible on the skin’s surface. The body slowly clears the vein over time. The method is widely used because it offers effective results without surgery.

Are You a Candidate?

You may be a good candidate if you:

  • Have spider veins
  • Have small varicose veins
  • Want a minimally invasive option
  • Prefer an outpatient procedure
  • Do not have a clotting disorder or an active skin infection

What Happens During the Procedure

Your visit begins with a brief evaluation to map the veins that require treatment. Our vein specialist, Dr. Gregroy Kezele, cleans the skin and uses a very fine needle to place the solution into targeted veins. You may feel a short, stinging, or warm sensation, but most injections are quick. You should feel little to no pain during and following the treatment.

If several veins need attention, each one is addressed in small sections to improve accuracy. The appointment often lasts 20–45 minutes, depending on the number of veins treated. You can walk immediately after the procedure, and no sedation is needed.

What to Expect During Recovery

Recovery is generally simple and fits into most routines. Some mild redness, tightness, or temporarily raised areas may appear but tend to fade quickly.

Your aftercare plan may include:

  • Wearing compression stockings for a set period
  • Walking regularly to support blood flow
  • Avoiding strenuous exercise for 24–48 hours
  • Protecting treated areas from heat or direct sun
  • Following your provider’s skincare guidance, if any irritation develops

Patients may return to work and normal activities after treatment. Most people resume normal activities the same day, which makes sclerotherapy a practical choice for busy schedules.

Benefits You Can Get from Sclerotherapy

Many people choose sclerotherapy because it fits easily into their routine and provides steady improvement. These are some of the key benefits:

  • Minimally invasive vein care
  • Outpatient treatment with limited downtime
  • Gradual fading of treated veins
  • Ability to treat multiple veins in one visit
  • Useful for both cosmetic and comfort-related concerns

How Much Is the Cost of Sclerotherapy?

The cost depends on the number of veins treated, the size of the areas involved, and the number of sessions you may need. Treatment plans vary because each person’s vein pattern is different.

Frequently Asked Questions

Changes often begin within a few weeks. Full results continue to improve over several months.
The treated veins do not return once they close. However, new veins can appear over time, and some patients return for maintenance, depending on their vein patterns.
Most people feel only brief stinging or pressure during the injections. The sensation fades quickly, and no anesthesia is required.
Some patients need only one session, while others need several based on vein size and quantity. Your provider will create a plan that matches your needs.
