What Is Sclerotherapy?

Reduce Visible Spider Veins and Small Varicose Veins

Sclerotherapy is a proven, minimally invasive treatment for improving the appearance of spider veins and small varicose veins. During the procedure, a specialized solution is carefully injected directly into the affected vein. This irritates the vein lining, causing it to collapse, seal shut, and gradually fade as your body naturally reroutes blood flow to healthier veins. Over time, the treated veins are absorbed, leaving your legs looking smoother and more even.

Benefits of Sclerotherapy

Sclerotherapy is a trusted, effective option for treating spider veins and small varicose veins with minimal disruption to your routine.

Some of the key advantages include:

  • Minimally invasive, in-office treatment
  • No anesthesia or surgical incisions required
  • Targets spider veins and small varicose veins precisely
  • Little to no downtime after treatment
  • Gradual, natural-looking improvement in vein appearance
  • Long-standing gold standard for vein treatment

Why Trust Dr. Aron Rovner?

At Core Alliance Vein Specialists, sclerotherapy is performed under the guidance of Dr. Aron Rovner, a board-certified physician with over 20 years of clinical experience treating complex causes of leg pain and vein dysfunction. His extensive background in minimally invasive procedures allows him to approach vein care with precision, focusing on accurate diagnosis and targeted treatment. Dr. Rovner’s ultimate goal is to help you return to daily activities quickly.

Who Is a Good Candidate for Sclerotherapy?

You may be a good candidate for sclerotherapy if you have spider veins or small varicose veins that affect the appearance of your legs or cause mild discomfort. This treatment is well-suited for individuals seeking a minimally invasive solution with little to no downtime.

During your consultation at Core Alliance Vein Specialists, Dr. Rovner performs a thorough evaluation of your vein health, symptoms, and medical history. Using his extensive experience with minimally invasive procedures, he determines whether sclerotherapy is appropriate or if another vein treatment may better address the underlying issue.

What to Expect During Sclerotherapy

During sclerotherapy, Dr. Rovner carefully cleans the treatment area and uses a fine needle to inject a specialized solution directly into the targeted veins. You may feel mild pressure or a brief stinging sensation as the medication is delivered. The procedure is performed in the office and typically takes less than an hour, depending on the number of veins treated. Afterward, you can walk immediately and return to most normal activities the same day.

What Is Recovery Like After Sclerotherapy?

You can walk immediately after your appointment, and most people return to work and normal daily activities the same day. You may be advised to wear compression stockings for a period of time to support healing and improve results. Mild redness, swelling, or slight bruising at the injection sites usually fade within a few days. Over the following weeks, the treated veins gradually fade as your body naturally absorbs them and redirects blood flow.

How Many Sclerotherapy Sessions Will I Need?

The number of sclerotherapy sessions you need depends on the number, size, and location of your spider veins or small varicose veins. Many people see noticeable improvement after one treatment, while others benefit from a series of sessions for optimal results. Spider veins often fade within several weeks, while small varicose veins can take a few months to fully resolve.
