Sclerotherapy is the gold standard treatment for reducing the appearance of spider veins on the legs. During treatment, a specialized solution is injected directly into the affected veins, causing them to collapse, close, and gradually be absorbed by the body. As the treated veins fade, skin appears clearer, smoother, and more even.
This minimally invasive procedure is quick, requires little downtime, and can significantly improve both the appearance of spider veins and your confidence. Multiple treatments may be recommended depending on the extent of the veins being treated.
- Ideal For: Spider veins on the legs and small superficial veins.
- Treatment Time: 20-30 minutes
- Recommended Series: 1–3 treatments, depending on the severity of the veins. Spaced 2-4 weeks apart
- Downtime: Little to none. Compression stockings are typically recommended for several days after treatment.
- Results: Veins gradually fade over several weeks, with continued improvement over 2–3 months.
