Sclerotherapy
Home » Services » Vein Health » treating spider veins
This treatment is indicated for smaller bluish veins and spider veins. A special solution is injected into the abnormal vein to irriate, collapse and ultimately destroy the vein. The procedure is well tolerated. The number of treatment sessions is determined by your specific condition.
Preparing for sclerotherapy
Before the procedure, a thorough physical examination is conducted by our staff. This examination includes a detailed assessment of your veins and an evaluation for any blood vessel diseases.
During this process, the provider will inquire about your medical history, focusing on pertinent factors such as recent illnesses, existing medical conditions (such as heart disease or a history of blood clots), allergies, and previous treatments for varicose veins along with their outcomes. They will also discuss any medications or supplements you are currently taking, paying special attention to aspirin, ibuprofen, naproxen sodium, blood thinners, iron supplements, or herbal remedies.
It’s worth noting that certain medications, like aspirin, ibuprofen, naproxen sodium, or blood thinners, may increase the risk of bleeding. If you are currently using any of these medications, a member of your healthcare team will provide you with detailed instructions on how and when to cease their usage before the procedure.
Results from sclerotherapy
The positive outcomes of sclerotherapy for small varicose veins or spider veins typically manifest within 3 to 6 weeks, while larger veins may take around 3 to 4 months to show improvement. It’s important to note that achieving the desired results might require multiple treatment sessions.
Once veins effectively respond to treatment, they generally do not reappear. However, it is possible for new veins to develop over time.
To evaluate the effectiveness of the procedure, your healthcare provider may schedule a follow-up visit approximately one month after the initial treatment. Depending on your condition, additional sessions may be recommended. It is generally advisable to wait for approximately six weeks before considering another sclerotherapy session.
At Jaimes Medical Group & The Vein Health Centers, we understand the discomfort and aesthetic concerns that varicose and spider veins can cause. Our expert team is dedicated to providing effective solutions to help you achieve healthier and more attractive legs. One of our most popular treatments is sclerotherapy, a minimally invasive procedure to eliminate varicose and spider veins.
Sclerotherapy involves injecting a special solution directly into the affected veins. This solution causes the vein to collapse and eventually be reabsorbed by the body, reducing the appearance of unsightly veins significantly.
Injection sclerotherapy is a safe and proven method that has been used for decades to treat vein issues with excellent results.
Our skilled vein specialists tailor each sclerotherapy treatment to meet the unique needs of our patients. During your consultation, we will thoroughly evaluate your condition and medical history to determine the most appropriate treatment plan. We aim to ensure that you receive the highest quality care and achieve the best possible outcomes.
Injection sclerotherapy is not only effective but also convenient. The procedure typically takes less than thirty minutes and requires no downtime, allowing you to return to your daily activities almost immediately. Most patients experience noticeable improvements after just one session, although multiple treatments may be necessary for optimal results.
