Frequently
Asked Questions
Can spider veins get worse after sclerotherapy?
Sclerotherapy is a procedure that aids in the treatment of spider veins. Results of the treatment may begin to show a few weeks after the treatment. The veins will appear lighter in color. There may be slight reddening at the injection site area, but these areas should fade in time as part of the treatment process.
How long does it take for veins to disappear after sclerotherapy?
Each individual patient will experience different results, depending on their situation. However, most patients experience results within a few weeks to a few months. Larger veins may take longer to fade. In some cases, veins may be permanent.
What is the best treatment for spider veins?
Spider veins are also known as superficial veins and often present themselves on a person’s legs. One of the most common forms of treatment for spider veins is a procedure known as sclerotherapy. During the procedure, liquid is injected into the veins to cause them to swell and disappear.
How dangerous is sclerotherapy?
Speaking with a surgeon can help determine if you are a candidate for sclerotherapy. They will walk you through the process and answer any questions you may have. Common side effects of sclerotherapy may include redness at the injection site or bruising.
