Sclerotherapy is a minimally invasive, medical procedure used to treat unsightly spider veins, blood vessels, and varicose veins. The procedure uses fine needles to inject a solution directly into the targeted vein, which causes it to collapse and fade from view. This procedure has been used effectively for decades to improve the appearance of leg veins, with success rates ranging from 80 to 90 percent.

Benefits of Sclerotherapy

Here are some of the most common benefits:
Quick and easy treatment with minimal discomfort

Everything You Need to Know About Recovery

Recovery is relatively straightforward after Sclerotherapy. It is important to wear a small dressing when you leave the office that you can take off when you get home, as this will help reduce swelling and improve results.
