Sclerotherapy
Vein Treatment
Sclerotherapy is a minimally invasive treatment that treats spider veins. It involves the injection of a solution right into the affected veins, causing them to shrink and eventually disappear. It is also known to reduce some of the symptoms associated with spider veins, such as aching or night cramps. Treatment can range between 30 and 45 minutes and costs between $300 and $450—very little downtime. You're able to return to daily activities immediately in most cases. Those who are unable to take time out from their busy schedules to travel to a medical center for treatment can still benefit from spider vein treatments that can be done in our convenient location at Sherisse Hill Aesthetic Derm in Issaquah, WA.
FAQ’s
What is Sclerotherapy?
Sclerotherapy is an incredibly effective treatment that is used to treat spider and varicose veins. Sclerotherapy involves injecting a sclerosing solution into diseased veins. The vein’s inner lining becomes inflamed during this process, resulting in its collapse. After treatment, the treated vein vanishes without leaving any trace.
How many Sclerotherapy treatments should I need?
Sclerotherapy treatments will depend on the number of veins you have and the effectiveness of their absorption. During each session, we apply a fixed quantity of solutions. Another session may be required if more veins are to be treated and there is no more solution available. Most patients can expect between one and three treatments with maintenance therapies each month.
Who is a good candidate for Sclerotherapy?
Sclerotherapy is a great treatment option for spider veins, provided the patient is not pregnant or does not have a history of blood clots in the treatment area.
Will I have downtime after Sclerotherapy injection treatments?
The best part about Sclerotherapy is that there is no downtime involved. You can resume your regular activities immediately. Additionally, maintaining your regular fitness routine will aid in your recovery process.
