What is Sclerotherapy?
Sclerotherapy is a minimally invasive, injectable procedure designed to effectively treat spider veins and varicose veins. At Wilmington Plastic Surgery and Med Spa, we offer advanced spider vein treatments to help you achieve smoother, healthier-looking legs with minimal discomfort and downtime.
One of our highly trained injectors will conduct a thorough assessment of the area, ensuring effective treatment. The treatment itself involves precisely injecting a solution directly into the affected veins, visibly “flushing” the vein. The solution causes the veins to collapse and fade over time, resulting in a clearer, more even skin appearance.
Benefits of Sclerotherapy for Spider & Varicose Veins
Minimally Invasive & Minimal Downtime:
- Unlike other vein treatments, Sclerotherapy is a quick treatment that involves several injections, allowing patients to resume regular activity immediately after.
- AVOID RUNNING AND WEIGHT LIFTING FOR 2 WEEKS AFTER TREATMENT
Highly Effective, Long-Lasting Results:
- Sclerotherapy is considered one of the most effective, non-surgical vein treatments. With success rates ranging from 75% – 90%, patients should expect a significant reduction in their appearance.
What happens after sclerotherapy treatment?
Following your sclerotherapy treatment at Wilmington Plastic Surgery, it is normal to experience redness, mild swelling, or bruising in the treated area – redness in the treated spider veins or varicose veins is expected. Compression stockings are worn for 24 hours after treatment (can be removed to shower).
After the first 24 hours, compression stockings are worn during the day (can be removed to shower and sleep). Patients will see results as the veins begin to fade over the next few weeks – multiple treatments may be needed for optimal results.
