Sclerotherapy: Proven Solution for Spider and Varicose Veins

Sclerotherapy at The Vein Institute of the Desert has long been recognized as a safe and effective method to treat both spider veins and varicose veins. Patients seeking relief from discomfort, swelling, or cosmetic concerns can benefit from this minimally invasive procedure. By closing affected veins, sclerotherapy promotes healthier circulation while enhancing the appearance of the legs, providing lasting results when administered by experienced professionals.

🩺 How Sclerotherapy Works

Sclerotherapy involves the injection of a specialized solution directly into the targeted vein. This solution irritates the vein lining, causing it to collapse and seal shut. Over time, the treated vein is reabsorbed by the body, and blood flow naturally redirects to healthy veins. This process not only addresses visible veins but also helps relieve symptoms associated with venous insufficiency, such as heaviness, aching, or swelling in the legs.

A session at a sclerotherapy clinic begins with a thorough evaluation. The specialist identifies problematic veins using visual inspection and, when necessary, ultrasound imaging. Customizing the treatment based on vein size, location, and patient needs ensures optimal results with minimal discomfort.

💉 Types of Veins Treated

Sclerotherapy is versatile and effective for various venous conditions:

Spider Veins – These fine, web-like veins commonly appear on the legs and face. Sclerotherapy significantly reduces their visibility and improves overall skin appearance

Small Varicose Veins – Bulging veins that may cause pain or discomfort respond well to sclerotherapy when they are not too large or deeply rooted.

Patients with larger or more complex veins may require complementary treatments, such as endovenous laser therapy or radiofrequency ablation, to achieve comprehensive results. Combining procedures allows specialists to provide a tailored approach that maximizes both functional and aesthetic benefits.

🌿 Preparing for and Recovering from Treatment

Preparation for sclerotherapy is straightforward but essential for optimal outcomes. Patients are advised to avoid certain medications that can increase bruising, maintain good hydration, and wear comfortable clothing for the procedure. During treatment, local anesthesia is typically unnecessary, and most patients experience only mild discomfort from the needle.

Recovery is generally quick. Light activity, such as walking, is encouraged immediately after the procedure to promote circulation. Compression stockings may be recommended to support healing and enhance results. Minor bruising, redness, or swelling is common but usually resolves within a few days to weeks. Follow-up visits ensure the treated veins are responding appropriately and allow the specialist to address any concerns promptly.
