What is a Spider Veins / Sclerotherapy?

Sclerotherapy is an effective non-surgical treatment for spider veins. Helping patients regain smooth, clear legs. It is a minimally invasive procedure that involves injecting a special solution, Asclera, directly into the affected veins, causing them to collapse and fade from view.

Her gaze is directed downward, and one hand gently touches her leg. Soft beige throw pillows are arranged behind her on the sofa. The floor is light beige hardwood or laminate, and a textured light gray wall serves as the background. The overall scene has a calm, minimalist aesthetic. - Spider Vein Sclerotherapy in Carmel, IN

What to Expect on the Day of Sclerotherapy Treatment

Once you arrive at Hamilton Facial Plastic Surgery in Indianapolis, the nurse injector will begin by cleansing the treatment area to remove any oils or impurities. This ensures that the sclerotherapy solution is applied effectively. The next step involves marking the specific veins to be treated. Using a fine needle, the nurse injector will then carefully inject the Asclera solution directly into the targeted veins. While you may feel a brief stinging or burning sensation during each injection, the discomfort is typically mild and fades quickly.

Sclerotherapy Recovery

Most patients can return to their normal activities immediately after the procedure. Things to avoid after treatment include: 

  • No hot tubs or baths for at least 2 weeks 
  • No swimming in the ocean/lakes/pools for 1 week 
  • No exercise for 48 hours 
  • Avoid sun exposure and UV exposure for 1 month on treated areas and use a 30 SPF sunscreen on the legs. 

Typically, the treated areas look worse than before treatment for the first two weeks. You can expect redness, a ropey appearance, darkness around the veins, and bruising during this timeframe. After two weeks, the veins will gradually start to fade over the next 4 to 6 weeks. Often, it takes more than one session of Sclerotherapy, and we recommend at least two or three treatments spaced 4-8 weeks apart.
