What sclerotherapy actually does.
Spider veins are cosmetic — they don't usually cause medical problems — but they can make patients self-conscious in warmer months. Sclerotherapy is the gold standard treatment for the small, superficial spider and reticular veins on the legs.
We use a very fine needle to inject a sclerosant solution directly into each visible vein. The vein collapses, the body absorbs it, and it disappears from view over the following weeks. Most patients need 2–3 sessions, spaced 4–6 weeks apart, to clear a treatment area.
