This procedure involves the insertion of a fluid, called the sclerosant, into the veins to treat varicose and spider veins. The function of the salt-based fluid is to damage the walls of the affected veins so that the tissue becomes porous. This improves blood circulation once the surrounding blood has absorbed the damaged tissue.
The doctor numbs the affected area prior to the insertion. The procedure is mainly painless, followed by a short recovery period.

At Varicose Veins NYC, you receive the best treatment for Sclerotherapy from or highly trained Sclerotherapy specialists.

Sclerotherapy is often done for cosmetic purposes to overcome physical signs of spider and varicose veins.

Not everyone may be eligible for Sclerotherapy. Patients that have blood clots are advised by vein doctors to opt for another procedure.

It’s also recommended to seek a treatment other than Sclerotherapy for spider and varicose veins if the patient is pregnant or breastfeeding.

Sclerotherapy is an effective method of treatment for varicose and spider veins.
The treatment doesn’t involve a long period for preparation or post-op recovery. It often does not require anesthesia once the numbing cream is applied to the affected region.

While the procedure may only take 30 minutes, there may be a few side effects. Bruising, small skin sores, red areas and discoloration are some of the side effects that gradually fade away over the course of one or two weeks.

If there are air bubbles, blood clots or inflammation on or near the treatment area, it’s advised that you visit your vein doctor immediately.
