Sclerotherapy uses a prescription sclerosing solution, Asclera® (polidocanol), to irritate the inner lining of the targeted vein, causing it to collapse and seal shut. Over time, your body naturally reabsorbs the treated vein, leaving skin clearer and smoother.

Most clients see visible improvement within 3–6 weeks, though larger or more prominent veins may take several months to fully fade. A series of treatments may be recommended for optimal results, especially for multiple vein clusters.

The number of sessions varies based on the extent of your visible veins. Some patients see significant improvement after one session, while others may require several treatments spaced a few weeks apart for full results.

The procedure uses very fine needles, and most clients describe only a mild stinging or pinching sensation that quickly subsides.

Yes, sclerotherapy is FDA-approved and has a strong safety record when performed by trained medical providers. Minor redness or bruising may occur temporarily.

Light walking is encouraged to promote circulation, but avoid strenuous activity for 3–5 days.

Treated veins are permanently closed; however, new veins can form over time due to genetics or lifestyle factors. Maintenance sessions may be recommended in the future.

Sclerotherapy can be done year-round, but many clients prefer fall and winter to allow time for optimal healing before summer.

Yes, wearing compression stockings for several days post-treatment helps improve results by promoting vein closure and reducing swelling. Your provider will recommend the appropriate type and how long to wear them.
