Sclerotherapy is a safe, popular and effective medical procedure designed to treat varicose veins and spider veins. It involves injecting a specialized solution directly into the affected veins, causing them to collapse and eventually fade away. This minimally invasive procedure can help improve both the appearance and symptoms associated with these vein conditions, such as swelling, aching, or cramping.
“If the thought of treatment involving needles and injections make you a bit nervous, never fear! Sclerotherapy is generally well tolerated, and we will do everything we can to ensure your procedure is as relaxed and pain-free as possible. Our experts here at Reflejo Med Spa are not only precise, but gentle as well.” – Julyssa Bojorquez, RN
During a sclerotherapy treatment, we administer a specialized solution known as a sclerosing agent. This solution, carefully formulated to achieve optimal results, is injected directly into the targeted veins using a fine needle.
The sclerosing agent plays a pivotal role in the success of the procedure. It is designed to irritate the lining of the veins, prompting a controlled inflammatory response. This irritation causes the walls of the veins to stick together, sealing them off and preventing further blood flow. As a result, the targeted veins gradually collapse and are no longer visible from the surface of the skin.
Once the veins are sealed off, a remarkable process begins within your body. Over time, the treated veins are naturally absorbed by the surrounding tissues. The body’s own healing mechanisms spring into action, breaking down and reabsorbing the collapsed veins. As this natural absorption process occurs, the treated veins gradually fade from view, leaving behind clearer, smoother skin.
Sclerotherapy is a versatile treatment suitable for various individuals who wish to address bothersome varicose veins or spider veins. Potential candidates may include those experiencing pain, discomfort, swelling, or cosmetic concerns due to these vein conditions. However, a comprehensive evaluation and consultation with one of our experienced team members is necessary to determine if sclerotherapy is the most appropriate option for you.
“If you have spider veins or varicose veins that cause you discomfort or self-consciousness, don’t hesitate to visit us at our state-of-the-art facilities in Phoenix. We’ll conduct a thorough examination and chat with you about your concerns and goals to help you decide which is the best treatment option for you.” – Julyssa Bojorquez, RN
If you’re seeking to improve the appearance and health of your legs, sclerotherapy offers several advantages. Some of the benefits of this transformative treatment include:
Effectively reduce the appearance of varicose and spider veins, leading to a clearer and smoother skin appearance.
Many individuals experience relief from symptoms such as pain, cramping, itching, and swelling associated with varicose veins.
This non-surgical procedure typically requires little to no downtime, allowing you to resume your daily activities shortly after treatment.
Sclerotherapy can be performed on various areas, including the legs, hands, face, and other parts of the body affected by visible veins.
While multiple sessions may be required for optimal results, treatment can provide long-lasting improvements in both appearance and symptoms.
Although sclerotherapy is generally safe and well-tolerated, it is essential to be aware of potential risks and side effects. These may include temporary skin discoloration, swelling, bruising, mild discomfort, or allergic reactions. In rare cases, more serious complications such as blood clot formation or inflammation may occur. However, such complications are rare and can be minimized through proper evaluation and guidance from a skilled medical professional.
Before your sclerotherapy session, you’ll be provided with specific instructions tailored to your individual needs. These instructions may include avoiding certain medications, moisturizers, or sun exposure. Additionally, wearing loose-fitting clothing on the day of treatment can enhance comfort and facilitate the procedure. After the session, you may be advised to wear compression stockings and avoid vigorous activities for a certain period to optimize the healing process.
After undergoing sclerotherapy, it’s essential to be prepared for the recovery process and take proper care of your legs to optimize healing and results. Following the procedure, you may experience mild discomfort, bruising, or swelling at the injection sites, which is normal and temporary. You may also be advised to avoid strenuous activities such as squatting or running and prolonged standing/sitting for more than 1-2 hours without break for a few days to allow the treated veins to properly heal. Walking, however, is encouraged. Compression stockings are advised for 3-6 weeks. After 1 month you may resume most exercises and will notice the treated areas becoming lighter in color. It’s crucial to follow any post-treatment instructions provided to you, including the use of prescribed medications or topical creams.
Following sclerotherapy treatment, you can anticipate a gradual improvement in the appearance of your treated veins over several weeks. Multiple sessions may be necessary to achieve the desired results, depending on the severity and extent of your vein condition. It is important to note that individual outcomes may vary, and a personalized treatment plan will be tailored to meet your specific needs.
At Reflejo, we understand that your overall well-being is just as important as your physical appearance. Sclerotherapy is a proven and versatile treatment option that can help you address varicose veins and spider veins while promoting relaxation and rejuvenation. Contact us today to schedule a consultation with our friendly team, and embark on a journey towards radiant legs and renewed confidence.
BOOK AN APPOINTMENTIs sclerotherapy painful?
While everyone’s pain tolerance varies, most individuals experience only mild discomfort during the procedure. The injections may cause a slight stinging or burning sensation, similar to a small pinch. Our skilled team takes measures, such as numbing cream if desired, to minimize any discomfort and ensure your comfort throughout the procedure.
How long does a sclerotherapy session usually take?
The duration of a session can vary depending on the number and size of the veins being treated. However, most sessions typically last between 30 minutes to an hour. The exact time needed will be determined during your consultation, where we will assess your specific condition and provide you with an estimated treatment time.
How many sclerotherapy sessions will I need?
The number of sessions needed depends on various factors, including the extent of your vein condition and your desired results. While some people may see significant improvement after just one session, others may require multiple sessions. During your consultation, our team will evaluate your condition and develop a personalized treatment plan that outlines the number of sessions needed to achieve your desired outcome.
How much does sclerotherapy cost?
Treatment costs vary based on the number of injections needed, as well as the number of sessions required. Full costs will be discussed at your consultation, along with payment options.
Will I notice a difference after one session?
In most cases, only one or two sessions are needed, with treated veins beginning to fade after one to two weeks. However, it can take a month or more for results to become visible.
