Sclerotherapy
What is Sclerotherapy?
Sclerotherapy is a medical procedure used to treat spider veins and small varicose veins by injecting a specialized solution directly into the affected veins. This solution irritates the vein walls, causing them to collapse and seal shut. Over time, the treated veins are naturally reabsorbed by the body, leaving the skin smoother and vein-free.
This minimally invasive treatment is highly effective for improving both the cosmetic appearance and symptoms like swelling or discomfort associated with problematic veins. Sclerotherapy is a quick, in-office procedure with little to no downtime, making it a popular choice for individuals seeking a simple yet impactful solution to vein-related concerns.
Benefits of Sclerotherapy
- Effective Vein Treatment: Reduces the appearance of spider veins and small varicose veins, often within just a few sessions.
- Improved Circulation: Treating problematic veins helps restore proper blood flow, promoting healthier vascular function.
- Minimal Downtime: The procedure is quick and allows you to return to normal activities almost immediately.
Boosts Confidence: Achieve smoother, vein-free skin, enhancing your confidence and comfort in shorts, dresses, and swimwear.
Who is a Good Candidate for Sclerotherapy?
Sclerotherapy is ideal for individuals who:
- Are bothered by spider veins or small varicose veins on the legs, thighs, or other areas.
- Do not have a history of blood clotting disorders.
- Are looking for a safe, effective, and minimally invasive solution to improve the appearance of their skin.
Our experts will guide you through the process, ensuring the treatment is tailored to your specific needs and medical history.
How Sclerotherapy Works
- Consultation: During your consultation at NDA Medical Spa™, our specialists will evaluate your veins and discuss your goals to determine the best treatment plan.
- Injection Process: Using a fine needle, a medical-grade solution is injected into the targeted veins. This solution causes the veins to collapse and close off, redirecting blood flow to healthier veins.
- Natural Healing: Over the weeks following treatment, the collapsed veins are gradually reabsorbed by the body, leaving your skin clearer and smoother.
Results of Sclerotherapy
The results of sclerotherapy typically become noticeable within 3 to 6 weeks for smaller spider veins, while larger varicose veins may take 3 to 4 months to show improvement. Multiple treatments may be necessary to achieve the desired outcome.
Once treated, veins usually do not return; however, new veins can develop over time. A follow-up appointment is often recommended approximately one month after the procedure to assess progress and determine if additional sessions are required. If more treatments are needed, there is usually a six-week waiting period between sessions to allow the treated area to heal fully.
