Sclerotherapy

Serving Denver, Aurora, Cherry Creek, and the Northern Colorado Area

Sclerotherapy treats the small purple and red blood vessels (spider veins) most commonly found on the thighs, lower legs and ankles of women as well as men. Spider veins or cherry spots may also appear on the trunk and face. During the sclerotherapy procedure, a solution is injected into the vein through a micro-needle, which generally causes very little pain. The solution causes the vein to turn white and then gradually disappear from the skin surface. A typical treatment may take up to an hour and consist of multiple injections.

Women of any age may be good candidates for sclerotherapy, but most fall in the 30-to-60 category. In some women, spider veins may become noticeable very early on - in the teen years. For others, the veins may not become obvious until they reach their 40s.

If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, you may be advised to postpone sclerotherapy treatment. In most cases, spider veins that surface during pregnancy will disappear on their own within three months after the baby is born.

Spider veins in men aren't nearly as common as they are in women. Men who do have spider veins often don't consider them to be a cosmetic problem because the veins are usually concealed by hair growth on the leg. However, sclerotherapy is just as effective for men who seek treatment.

What to Expect From Sclerotherapy

Sclerotherapy can enhance your appearance and your self confidence, but it's unrealistic to believe that every affected vein will disappear completely as a result of treatment. After each sclerotherapy session, the veins will appear lighter. Two or more sessions are usually required to achieve optimal results.
