Sclerotherapy can be done in a private treatment room quickly and typically without anesthesia. The blood vessels being corrected will be marked, and then the overlying skin will be cleaned. A fine-gauge needle will be introduced into the vein so the sclerosing solution can be introduced. After the needle is empty, it will be removed and gauze will be put over the site of injection to stop any minor bleeding. This procedure will be repeated until all spider veins have been treated. ‘

After your sclerotherapy treatment, you may leave to resume all daily activities. You may notice mild swelling, redness, or bruising in the areas treated, but this will typically fade naturally. Compression garments will be recommended by Dr. Umerah to help your blood circulation after your procedure for better, faster results. It can take a while for the sclerotherapy to show results, but eventually, the treated blood vessels should shrink, turn white, and then disappear or fade. You may need two or more sclerotherapy sessions to achieve optimal results, but many patients are happy with the improvements after their first session.

In a private recovery area, your post-op team will help manage any pain and care for your treated areas until you are discharged. You may need to recover at home for several weeks, depending on the number of areas treated and the size of the treatment area. It is normal to see bruising and swelling for 1 – 2 weeks. You can have your sutures removed 7 – 10 days after surgery.

The most important thing to do following liposuction is to give your body time to recover and heal. When you decide to go back to work after your procedure, you should remember to take it easy. To build up your strength and stamina, stick to short walks and light workouts as advised by Dr. Umerah. Keep in mind, you may notice some changes soon after your surgery, but it really takes around 6 – 10 months before your new body shape and contour are attained.

Varicose veins and spider veins are treated with sclerotherapy by using a specialized solution that is injected into the veins, sealing them and causing the body to absorb them. Laser vein treatments use focused light energy to seal the vein. In general, sclerotherapy is more effective for larger varicose veins, while laser vein treatments are typically better for smaller veins in more delicate areas like the face.
