Sclerotherapy
SPIDER VEINS TREATMENT IN LOS ANGELES, CA
Sclerotherapy in Beverly Hills
If you sometimes avoid showing your legs because you have spider veins — those small clusters of red, blue or purple veins that appear on the thighs, calves, and ankles — you are not alone. It’s estimated that at least half of all women are bothered by this common cosmetic problem.
What is Sclerotherapy?
Sclerotherapy is an innovative procedure that is non-surgical and only requires an injection into the blood vessels. This injection causes the blood vessels to shrink. The injection is filled with sclerosant, which is an irritant. This kind of procedure is commonly used for varicose veins, but may also be used to treat other conditions. These could include hemorrhoids and malformed lymph vessels.

Vein Removal Before & Afters
Causes of Spider Veins
A number of factors may contribute to the development of spider veins in the legs, including: Heredity. Pregnancy. Hormonal shifts. Weight gain. Occupations or activities that require prolonged sitting or standing
When Do Spider Veins Occur?
In some women, spider veins become noticeable in their early 20s. For others, the veins may not become obvious until they reach their 40s. Men get spider veins, too. However, usually, they are concealed by hair growth on the leg.
What Does Sclerotherapy Address?
Sclerotherapy is primarily used to treat unsightly or uncomfortable veins that may develop due to genetics, aging, pregnancy, or prolonged standing. This treatment specifically targets:
- Spider veins (small, web-like veins close to the skin’s surface)
- Small varicose veins (enlarged, twisted veins that are visible beneath the skin)
- Leg veins (most common treatment area, though arms and face may also be treated)
- Discomfort or swelling caused by problematic veins
Benefits of Sclerotherapy
Sclerotherapy offers a range of benefits beyond just cosmetic improvements. Patients enjoy:
- Reduction or elimination of visible veins
- Improved circulation and healthier-looking skin
- Minimal downtime with no surgery required
- Quick, in-office procedure with long-lasting results
- Prevention of vein-related discomfort, including swelling and aching
- Boosted confidence and smoother skin appearance
Who is a Candidate for Sclerotherapy?
Sclerotherapy is ideal for individuals seeking to eliminate spider or small varicose veins for cosmetic and medical reasons. The best candidates include:
- Those with visible leg veins that are blue, purple, or red
- Individuals experiencing mild swelling or discomfort due to problematic veins
- People in good overall health with no history of severe vein disease
- Patients who do not have blood clot disorders
Who May Not Be a Candidate?
- Pregnant or breastfeeding individuals (treatment should be postponed)
- Patients with active infections or skin conditions in the treatment area

The Sclerotherapy Procedure
Sclerotherapy is a fast and virtually painless procedure performed in-office without the need for anesthesia. The steps include:
- Skin Preparation: The treatment area is cleansed to ensure a sterile environment.
- Injection: A fine needle is used to inject a sclerosing solution directly into the targeted veins. This solution irritates the vein walls, causing them to collapse and eventually be reabsorbed by the body.
- Compression: Gentle pressure is applied to help the treated veins close properly.
- Immediate Post-Treatment Care: Patients are encouraged to walk immediately after the procedure to promote circulation and reduce the risk of clotting.
The entire session typically lasts 15-45 minutes, depending on the size and number of veins being treated.
Sclerotherapy Results: What to Expect
Following sclerotherapy, treated veins gradually fade over the course of a few weeks to months. Most patients begin to see improvement within 2-4 weeks, with full results visible after 3 months.
- Immediate effects: Mild redness and swelling, which subside within days
- 2-4 weeks: Noticeable vein fading begins
- 3 months: Full results achieved, with veins significantly diminished or gone
- Long-term: With proper care, treated veins do not return, though new veins may develop over time
Sclerotherapy Recovery and Aftercare
Sclerotherapy requires little to no downtime, allowing patients to return to daily activities almost immediately. To ensure the best results, follow these post-treatment care tips:
- Wear compression stockings for at least 1-2 weeks to promote circulation
- Avoid prolonged standing or strenuous exercise for the first 48 hours
- Keep the treated area protected from sun exposure to prevent pigmentation changes
- Refrain from hot baths, saunas, or direct heat exposure for one week
- Walk regularly to support healthy circulation and prevent clotting
How Much Does Sclerotherapy Cost?
The cost of sclerotherapy varies based on the number of veins treated, the size of the treatment area, and the number of sessions required for optimal results. Factors affecting cost include:
- Treatment area size (small vs. large veins)
- Number of sessions needed (typically 1-3 for best results)
- Expertise of the provider
