What is Sclerotherapy?
Sclerotherapy is a minimally invasive treatment used to reduce and eliminate spider veins and small varicose veins. A specialized solution is injected directly into the affected veins, causing them to collapse and fade over time as the body naturally absorbs them. This quick, effective procedure restores a smoother, more even skin appearance—most commonly on the legs.

What to expect with results
Most clients begin noticing improvement within 3–6 weeks, with continued fading over several months as the body reabsorbs treated veins. Larger veins may take longer to respond or require multiple sessions. Results are long-lasting, and new veins can be treated as they appear.

During the procedure
Your provider will cleanse the area and inject the sclerosing solution directly into the veins using a fine needle. You may feel a mild stinging or tingling sensation that typically subsides quickly. The entire procedure usually takes 30–45 minutes, depending on the number of veins being treated.
