Sclerotherapy  
     
  Sclerotherapy involves injecting a liquid agent through a tiny needle directly 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. The procedure is performed in the 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 ace bandages or compression hose for three to ten days. You may resume sedentary activities immediately but should avoid exercise, hot baths, and alcohol for two to three days. You should anticipate 50% improvement in spider veins following each sclerotherapy session. Multiple sessions may be required and understand that some spider veins may never be successfully treated through sclerotherapy.
