sclerotherapy

Sclerotherapy is a non-invasive treatment for spider veins on the body (not the face, however, we use laser or thermolysis for the face). Our board-certified MD uses an extremely tiny needle to inject a solution into the vein to close it off. Sclerotherapy is a fast, efficient, and safe treatment that works well for many people.

Who is sclerotherapy for?

Sclerotherapy eliminates unwanted spider veins, most commonly on the legs. We use sclerotherapy to treat spider veins (telangiectasias) and reticular veins (also called feeder veins, the blue/green veins that "feed" spider veins or thread veins). 

How does sclerotherapy work?

Our board-certified MD uses an extremely thin, tiny needle to inject Asclera, a reliable, sterile prescription solution for eliminating unwanted spider veins and reticular veins (also called green/blue or "feeder" veins). Asclera causes unwanted veins to close off in the area it is injected.

How many treatments will I need?

Often only one or two treatments are needed to eliminate most unwanted veins. Some new spider veins may show up in time, at which point another treatment can be booked to remove any new spider veins.

What is included in a sclerotherapy treatment?

Most patients find the treatment to be very tolerable and quick. Our board-certified MD uses an extremely thin, tiny needle to inject Asclera, a reliable, sterile prescription solution for eliminating unwanted spider veins and reticular veins (also called green/blue or "feeder" veins).

 

Packages are available. "Buy now, pay later" options are available.

Are there side effects or downtime?

You can expect to have typical wound healing symptoms, such as redness, bruising, and tenderness. Although some smaller spider veins are eliminated instantly, it may take several weeks for "feeder" veins and larger veins to fully close off and the injected areas to fully heal, depending on your own rate of healing. We use the Aerolase NeoElite laser as a painless way to help bruising heal faster if it is bothersome to a patient.

“Dr. Jie and Stephanie are fantastic! They were everything you would want: friendly, professional, very communicative about the products, procedure and outcomes - and fun, too! I was very happy with the process, and the care for not causing pain - it didn’t hurt at all. And a week later, I am very happy with the results - noticeably smoother skin, especially on my forehead and around my eyes."
