Sclerotherapy and Varicose Veins

About Sclerotherapy

During sclerotherapy, we use fine needles to inject unwanted veins with special solutions that cause the veins to swell and close.

As a result, varicose veins, spider veins, and other vascular lesions become lighter in color and less noticeable, with the body safely rerouting blood flow to other healthy vessels. In many cases the unsightly veins completely disappear.

Our sclerotherapy can provide dramatic and long-lasting results. You may be able to fully resume your normal activities two hours after treatment, with no restrictions.
