Sclerotherapy
Are spider veins making you self-conscious about your legs? At Siragusa Vein and Laser, we offer quick, effective, and pain-free spider vein treatment with sclerotherapy, helping you feel confident in your favorite dresses, shorts, or swimsuits. Spider veins affect 1 in 3 women and can be a source of insecurity—but we’re here to help.
What Is Sclerotherapy?
Sclerotherapy is a minimally invasive procedure designed to eliminate spider veins. During the treatment, a specialized medication is injected through a tiny needle directly into the spider vein. This medication causes the vein to swell shut, forcing blood into healthier veins. Over time, the treated vein turns into scar tissue and is naturally absorbed by the body, fading from view.
At Siragusa Vein and Laser, we use advanced FDA-approved medications like Asclera® (polidocanol) and Sotradecol®, which are safer, more effective, and far less painful than traditional saline injections.
What To Expect During Sclerotherapy?
•The Procedure:
Each session involves several injections into the spider veins. Many spider veins are connected to deeper veins known as feeder veins. Dr. Siragusa begins by treating these feeder veins, which are sometimes invisible to the naked eye. Using advanced technology like the Vein Viewer, we locate and treat these hidden veins to minimize the number of injections needed and reduce procedure time.
•Comfort During Treatment:
To enhance comfort, we offer ProNox—a blend of nitrous oxide and oxygen—to ease anxiety for patients who may feel nervous about needles or procedures.
•Sessions Required:
Most patients need 2–4 treatments to achieve optimal cosmetic results.
What To Expect After Sclerotherapy?
•Immediate Effects:
Treated areas may appear slightly red, similar to a sunburn. We apply Dermaka cream to reduce bruising and speed up recovery.
•Healing Process:
•Smaller veins: Disappear within 2–4 weeks.
•Larger veins: Fade over 1–3 months.
•Post-Procedure Care:
•Wear compression stockings for 3–5 days to promote healing.
•Avoid vigorous exercise, sunbathing, saunas, and hot tubs for two weeks.
Patients can return to work and normal activities immediately after treatment.
Why Choose Siragusa Vein And Laser For Your Sclerotherapy Treatment?
Dr. Siragusa and his team prioritize accurate diagnosis to ensure long-lasting results. Before performing sclerotherapy, we rule out underlying circulation issues like venous insufficiency. Treating spider veins without addressing these problems can lead to recurrence and worsening symptoms.
Our expertise in identifying and treating feeder veins sets us apart. Using advanced technology like the Vein Viewer, we locate hidden veins to deliver the most effective and thorough treatment possible.
