What Is Sclerotherapy?

Sclerotherapy is a non-surgical, in-office treatment for spider veins and small reticular veins. A sclerosant solution is injected directly into the affected vein, causing it to collapse, seal shut, and gradually fade as blood reroutes through healthier vessels. At Bowtique Med Spa, Kathleen Feeney uses Asclera (polidocanol), an FDA-approved prescription sclerosant indicated specifically for spider and reticular veins. It has a strong safety profile and is the current standard of care for this type of vein treatment.

Benefits of Sclerotherapy

Targeted vein treatment: Addresses spider veins and small varicose veins directly.
Improved leg clarity: Softens visible vein patterns for a smoother appearance.
Non-surgical care: Performed without incisions, anesthesia, or hospital recovery.
Long-term improvement: Successfully treated veins typically remain closed.
Symptom relief: Can reduce discomfort associated with compromised veins.

Am I a Good Candidate for Sclerotherapy?

Adults with visible spider veins or small varicose veins who want a non-surgical solution may be candidates for sclerotherapy. Candidates should not be pregnant or breastfeeding and should not have active clotting conditions. Vein health, medical history, and individual risk factors are carefully reviewed during consultation to ensure treatment is appropriate.

Your Consultation

Your consultation is designed to be clear and purposeful. During this visit, your veins will be assessed, your medical background reviewed, and your treatment goals discussed. If sclerotherapy in Sarasota is recommended, you will receive a straightforward plan outlining the anticipated number of sessions and expected outcomes.

What to Expect During Sclerotherapy Treatment

Sclerotherapy is performed in the office and typically takes 15 to 45 minutes. Using a fine needle, the solution is injected into each targeted vein with careful control.

Sensations are usually mild and brief. After treatment, walking is encouraged to support circulation, and most patients resume normal activities the same day.

Sclerotherapy Recovery and Results

Downtime after sclerotherapy is minimal. Compression stockings may be recommended for a period of time to support healing and optimize results. Temporary redness, bruising, or firmness at injection sites is common and typically resolves on its own.

Smaller veins often fade within several weeks, while larger veins may take a few months to fully diminish. Results develop gradually and are considered long lasting, though new veins may appear over time.

How Much Does It Cost?

Sclerotherapy pricing is based on the number and size of veins treated and the overall scope of care. A personalized cost estimate is provided during consultation so you can make an informed decision without uncertainty.
