Sclerotherapy

Spider veins don't have to be a permanent part of the picture. Sclerotherapy is a quick, minimally invasive treatment that fades unwanted veins and the discomfort that sometimes comes with them.

Find Your Location
AAD - Sclerotherapy - Banner copy

What Does Sclerotherapy Treat?

Sclerotherapy is a clinically proven injectable treatment used to eliminate spider veins and small varicose veins, most commonly on the legs. During treatment, a licensed medical provider injects a sclerosing solution directly into the targeted vein using a fine needle. The solution causes the vein wall to collapse, redirecting blood flow through healthier vessels. Over the following weeks, the treated vein is gradually absorbed by surrounding tissue and fades from view.

Beyond cosmetic improvement, sclerotherapy can also relieve physical symptoms associated with spider and varicose veins, including aching, swelling, burning, and nighttime cramping. It's considered the gold standard for leg vein treatment and is one of the most widely performed aesthetic procedures in dermatology.

Goals Addressed
Eliminate spider veins on the legs
Fade small varicose veins
Improve skin tone and clarity on treated areas
Relieve aching, burning, or swelling associated with visible veins
Reduce the appearance of vein clusters over multiple sessions
Pairs Well With
Laser Therapy
Targets smaller surface vessels that may not respond to injection alone
Phototherapy / BBL
Addresses broader redness and vascular irregularities alongside vein treatment
Body Contouring
Pairs with CoolSculpting or SkinTyte for comprehensive leg rejuvenation
WHAT TO EXPECT

What Happens at Your Appointment?

Your sclerotherapy experience begins with a consultation so your provider can assess the affected veins, understand your goals, and confirm this is the right approach for you. Treatment is typically completed in the same visit or shortly after.

1

Consultation

Your provider reviews your medical history and examines the veins you'd like treated. They'll explain the process, set realistic expectations, and answer any questions before you begin.
2

Treatment

Using a very fine needle, your provider injects a small amount of sclerosing solution into each targeted vein. Most sessions take 15–30 minutes. You may feel a brief, mild stinging sensation with each injection, but most patients find the discomfort far less than anticipated.
3

You're Done

There's no recovery time required. You'll be asked to wear compression garments for a short period following treatment, and most patients return to normal activities within a day or two. Strenuous exercise and prolonged sun exposure should be avoided briefly post-treatment.

Your Experience With Sclerotherapy

Sclerotherapy works gradually. Treated veins begin to collapse and fade as the body reabsorbs the affected tissue, with visible improvement continuing over several weeks. Some patients achieve their desired results in a single session; others benefit from two or more treatments depending on the extent of the area and the type of veins involved.

Timeline at a Glance

Days 1–3
Treated areas may appear slightly swollen, red, or bruised. This is a normal response and indicates the solution is working.
Days 5–7
Initial inflammation subsides. Compression garments support healing and optimize outcomes.
Days 10–14
Veins begin to visibly fade as the body absorbs the collapsed vessels.
Months 3–4
Full results are typically visible. Follow-up sessions can be scheduled if additional treatment is desired.

This was my initial visit with Dr. Taj Richardson, whom I discovered through ZocDoc. I'm very pleased with my choice. The office appears to be newly renovated and is exceptionally clean. The staff was remarkably welcoming, and the doctor saw me promptly. She was an excellent listener, very informative, and attentive. Her demeanor was both friendly and professional. Locating a dermatologist in PG County can be challenging, and I'm happy to have found her.

As usual, Dr. M is a positive professional. I have had many surgeries here over the years and my face is proof he does an excellent job. Years later, the scars are almost undetectable. The staff is great. I can only fault the slightly uncomfortable chairs and clunky paperwork. However, I hear they are going to online forms, so I won’t be able to complain about that next time. This is the place to trust with your face.

I’ve been a patient of Dermatology Specialists of Warrington for years and remained with them through their transition period. This “new” office is a gift. Cassandra Cohen and her entire staff are kind, patient and incredibly knowledgeable, always providing me with an experience in which I feel calm, comfortable and, most importantly, valued. Their high level of professionalism and thoroughness is exceptional and it is something I do not take for granted. They’re special, this group. And I’m so incredibly happy for all of them.

The tech/assistant (I will butcher the spelling but her name reminded me of Marina) who escorted me to the exam room was super friendly and helped me be at ease with her explanation of what I should expect.

It was very easy to schedule an appointment right online and was also able to upload my relevant insurance information and identification. The office is very nice, and you are able to answer your health history questions right on a nice iPad like tablet. I saw Dr Marianne Dawn. She was very friendly and told me I had a seborrheic keratosis. She said she could freeze it off right then and there. So, five minutes later I was done! She told me how to treat it over the next couple weeks and now there is no sign of it whatsoever. I would definitely recommend the practice to anyone looking for a dermatologist and will use them again myself if I need any dermatological care.

I cannot say enough good things about Dr. Becker and his team. Dr. Becker is incredibly knowledgeable and clearly stays up to date with the latest research, treatments, and medications in dermatology. I always feel confident that I’m receiving the most current and effective care. What truly sets him apart is how kind and attentive he is. He never rushes through appointments, takes the time to really listen, and thoroughly answers all of my questions. Despite being so thorough, he is also extremely prompt—I am never left waiting in the waiting room or exam room, which I really appreciate. His medical assistant, Andrea, is equally amazing. She is knowledgeable, patient, and genuinely listens. She goes above and beyond—for example, when I was prescribed tretinoin, she even helped guide me on where to get it at the most affordable price, which I truly appreciated. This clinic stands out because they are not pushy at all. There is absolutely no upselling or pressure to buy products or treatments. It’s clear that their focus is 100% on patient care and the true practice of dermatology. I am so grateful I found this practice and would highly recommend Dr. Becker and his team to anyone looking for excellent dermatologic care.

I could not get an appointment at the office in Shallotte where I am a current patient until my next skin check appointment which was another 3 months away. After 2 calls for appointments, they suggested there was an opening at Whiteville. After a 50 minute drive, I was seen by Sydney Pierce, P.A. and she biopsied a possible squamous cell ca on my arm. I was back on the road in 20 minutes. Sydney was great! I appreciate the opportunity to be seen in Whiteville! I will probably make the trip back to Whiteville for treatment. They need more staff in Shallotte but Atlantic Derm in Whiteville was great!

ADDRESSING TOP SCLEROTHERAPY CONCERNS

Your Sclerotherapy Questions, Answered

Most patients describe a mild stinging sensation with each injection, lasting just a few seconds. Anesthesia is not required, and the majority of patients find the experience significantly more comfortable than expected. Your provider will work carefully to keep you at ease throughout the session.

That depends on the number and severity of the veins being treated. Some patients achieve their goals in a single session; others see the best results after two or three treatments spaced a few weeks apart. Your provider will give you a clearer picture during your consultation.

There is very little downtime. Some mild bruising, swelling, or redness at the injection sites is normal for a few days. Most patients return to their regular routine within 24–48 hours. You'll be advised to avoid intense exercise and prolonged sun exposure for a short period following treatment.

Treated veins typically begin to fade within two to four weeks as the body absorbs collapsed tissue. Full results are generally visible within three to four months. Some patients benefit from additional sessions to address remaining veins or new ones that develop over time.

Yes. Beyond improving the appearance of spider and varicose veins, sclerotherapy can also reduce associated physical symptoms such as aching, swelling, burning, and nighttime cramping. If you're experiencing discomfort alongside visible veins, let your provider know during your consultation.

Spider veins are generally not medically dangerous, as they have no functional role in circulation. However, some patients experience discomfort from them, and visible veins can affect confidence. Treating them does no harm and is safe when performed by a qualified medical provider.

Treated veins do not return once they've been fully absorbed. However, new spider veins can develop in the same area over time due to genetics, lifestyle, or other factors. Periodic maintenance treatments can help you sustain your results long term.

Sclerotherapy works best for spider veins and small varicose veins on the legs. It may not be appropriate for certain patients with specific vascular conditions or during pregnancy. A consultation with one of our providers is the best way to confirm whether this treatment is right for you.
