Spider veins can make you feel self-conscious fast, especially when they show up on your legs and seem to stand out no matter what you wear. Even if they aren’t causing pain, their appearance can be frustrating. Sclerotherapy is a minimally invasive cosmetic treatment that helps fade spider veins and certain small varicose veins by closing the targeted vein so your body can naturally clear it over time.
At Solace Med Spa in Searcy, AR, your care is guided by Dr. Brad White, MD, a board-certified dermatologist with more than 25 years of experience serving this community. Our entire team is here to help you feel comfortable, informed, and confident in your treatment plan.
What Is Sclerotherapy?
Sclerotherapy is an in-office vein treatment that uses a very small needle to inject a solution directly into a spider vein or small varicose vein. The solution causes the vein to close, and blood is redirected through healthier veins. Over the next several weeks, the treated vein gradually fades.
Sclerotherapy is commonly used for:
- Spider veins
- Small varicose veins (in appropriate candidates)
- Clusters of visible surface veins that affect leg appearance
Benefits of Sclerotherapy
Sclerotherapy is a popular option because it’s effective and doesn’t require surgery.
Benefits may include:
- Reduced appearance of spider veins
- A smoother, more even-looking skin surface
- A quick, in-office treatment with minimal downtime
- Gradual, natural-looking improvement
- Increased confidence in shorts, dresses, and swimwear
If your legs feel heavy or achy along with visible veins, sclerotherapy may also help in some cases. Your consultation will help determine what’s most likely to improve.
Who Is a Good Candidate?
You may be a good candidate for sclerotherapy if you have visible spider veins or small varicose veins and want a non-surgical solution. Many healthy adults qualify, but your provider will review your health history to confirm safety.
Sclerotherapy may not be recommended if you:
- Are pregnant or currently breastfeeding
- Have a history of certain circulation or clotting conditions
- Have an allergy to sclerosant solutions
- Have large, bulging varicose veins that may require a different approach
What to Expect During Your Appointment
Sclerotherapy is typically straightforward and performed in-office.
Your visit usually includes:
- Reviewing your goals and assessing the veins you want treated
- Cleansing the skin and marking target veins
- Small injections into the veins using a fine needle
- Aftercare instructions, including activity and compression guidance
Most people describe mild stinging or pressure during the injections, but the treatment is usually very tolerable.
