Spider Vein Treatment
Clear spider veins with precision sclerotherapy
Overview
Spider vein treatment using sclerotherapy is the gold standard for eliminating the small, web-like red, blue, or purple veins that appear on the legs and face. A sclerosing solution is injected directly into the vein, causing it to collapse and fade from view. Results are progressive and most patients see significant clearing after 2–4 sessions.
How It Works
A fine needle is used to inject a sclerosing solution (typically polidocanol or sodium tetradecyl sulfate) directly into the spider vein. The solution irritates the vessel lining, causing it to swell, stick together, and eventually be reabsorbed by the body. Treated veins fade over 3–6 weeks. Sessions take 30–45 minutes.
What to Expect
Consultation includes assessment of the veins to be treated and discussion of the number of sessions needed. Compression stockings are worn after treatment to support healing. Avoid sun exposure to treated areas.
Recovery
Mild bruising, redness, and temporary darkening of treated veins are normal and resolve over several weeks. Compression stockings are worn for 1–2 weeks. Avoid strenuous exercise for 48 hours.
