Sclerotherapy

Rejuvenate Health Spa in Jaffrey, NH, offers personalized aesthetic care to help you address visible spider veins. Explore sclerotherapy as a treatment option tailored to your vein concerns and individual needs.

Reduce the Appearance of Spider Veins with Sclerotherapy

Sclerotherapy is a medical procedure used to treat certain small, visible veins, particularly spider veins that commonly appear on the legs. During treatment, a specialized solution is injected into the targeted veins, causing them to close gradually as the body absorbs them over time. This process can help reduce their visibility and create a more even-looking appearance in the treated area.

Sclerotherapy for spider veins may be suitable for adults who are concerned about visible surface veins and want to explore a nonsurgical treatment option. However, candidacy depends on factors such as vein size, circulation, medical history, and overall health. A professional assessment helps determine whether treatment is appropriate or whether another approach is needed. At Rejuvenate Health Spa, a sclerotherapy consultation can help you understand the procedure, expected results, potential risks, and recommended next steps before deciding how to proceed.

Benefits of Sclerotherapy

Reduces Visible Spider Veins

Sclerotherapy targets selected surface veins that contribute to the appearance of spider veins, particularly on the legs. As treated veins gradually close and fade, the surrounding skin may develop a more even-looking appearance.

A Nonsurgical Treatment

Sclerotherapy uses injections rather than surgical incisions to treat suitable veins. It is generally performed as an outpatient procedure, although the precise approach and suitability depend on the individual's vein condition and medical assessment.

Tailored to Your Veins

The number of sessions depends on the location, size, and distribution of the veins being treated. An individualized assessment helps establish realistic expectations and determine whether sclerotherapy alone or further evaluation is appropriate.

What To Expect

Your sclerotherapy appointment begins with an assessment of the visible veins, your medical history, and your treatment goals. Your provider will evaluate the area and determine whether the targeted veins are suitable for injection. Depending on your needs, you may be advised to seek further evaluation before proceeding.

During the procedure, a sclerosing solution is injected into selected veins using a fine needle. The solution irritates the vein's inner lining, prompting it to close gradually so blood can reroute through healthier veins. You may experience mild stinging, burning, or cramping during the injections. The length of the appointment depends on the number and size of the veins being treated.

After the injections, your provider will explain any recommended compression, movement restrictions, and follow-up care. Multiple sessions may be needed to address all targeted veins. Your treatment plan will depend on your vein pattern and how the treated areas respond over time.

Aftercare Tips & Results

Following sclerotherapy, aftercare instructions help support recovery and the treatment process. Your provider may recommend walking soon after the procedure to encourage circulation, along with wearing compression stockings for a specified period if appropriate. Follow the instructions provided for your individual treatment.

Mild bruising, redness, tenderness, itching, or temporary discoloration can occur after injections. These effects generally improve over time, although some changes may take weeks or months to settle. Avoid strenuous exercise, hot baths, saunas, or prolonged sun exposure for the period your provider recommends. Do not massage treated areas or stop using prescribed compression garments without guidance.

Results develop gradually rather than immediately. Treated spider veins may become less noticeable as the body breaks them down, but the timeline varies between individuals. Some veins may require additional sessions, and new spider veins can develop in the future. Attend recommended follow-up appointments so your provider can assess your progress and determine whether further treatment is appropriate.
