Sclerotherapy
Island Plastic Surgery offers Sclerotherapy to patients from Mineola, West Islip, Long Island and nearby areas.
Many people, especially women, suffer from unattractive spider veins on their legs. The best way to eliminate these unsightly purple, red and blue clusters is through sclerotherapy. With this vein treatment, our professionals at Island Plastic Surgery in New York inject a special solution into the vessel, causing it to contract and collapse.
Because spider veins are a common problem for women in the Long Island area, Island Plastic Surgery sees many sclerotherapy patients at our offices in Mineola and West Islip. To help meet the demand, we have established Island Vein Specialists to offer the latest non-surgical treatments for spider veins. Our top-notch services attract patients from various nearby communities, including New Rochelle, Yonkers and Hempstead, NY, and Greenwich, CT.
Am I a Good Candidate for Sclerotherapy?
Sclerotherapy is suitable for men and women of all ages and skin colors. Our patients in Mineola and West Islip use the treatment to target spider veins on their legs, ankles and feet. However, you are not a good candidate for sclerotherapy if you are pregnant, breastfeeding or bedridden.
How is Sclerotherapy Performed?
Sclerotherapy involves injecting a liquid agent into your spider veins, causing them to contract and collapse. Because this technique relies upon fitting a tiny needle into a tiny vein, it is best suited to medium and large spider veins. Sclerotherapy is performed in either our Mineola or West Islip office by our trained vein specialist and is relatively painless. Depending on the number of spider veins, the procedure may require five minutes to one hour. Afterward, you will wear bandages or compression hose for three to 10 days.
Patients can resume sedentary activities immediately, but should avoid exercise, hot baths and alcohol for two to three days. You should anticipate 50 percent improvement in spider veins following each sclerotherapy session. Multiple treatments may be required, and there are some spider veins that may never be successfully eliminated through sclerotherapy.
What are Sclerotherapy Costs?
The amount of treatment needed will greatly determine your sclerotherapy costs in New York. Our professional vein specialists can discuss your case on an individual basis during a consultation with us in Mineola or West Islip. We will be happy to provide thorough information about the procedure, including sclerotherapy prices and financing options.
