Sclerotherapy for spider veins on my legs. After two sessions I'm wearing shorts again. Mild bruising that faded in a couple of weeks.

Thank you for taking the time to write this. Glad the plan worked out the way we discussed.
Sclerotherapy is a proven, minimally invasive treatment for spider veins and small varicose veins. A solution injected into the vein irritates its lining so it closes and is gradually absorbed by the body, and blood reroutes through healthier veins.
It has been used for decades and remains the gold standard for small leg veins. Larger varicose veins may need an ultrasound evaluation first.
With the legs cleansed, your provider uses a very fine needle to inject the solution into the target veins. A session takes 30 to 45 minutes, followed by compression stockings.

Every provider listed on Empire Verified completed hands-on training with Empire Medical Training, and you can compare their credentials and reviews on their profiles.
Most patients feel a quick sting or mild cramping at the injection sites.
Treated veins are permanently closed, but new veins can develop over time, so some patients return for touch-ups.
Cosmetic spider vein treatment usually is not; symptomatic varicose veins sometimes are.
It is not performed during pregnancy or for patients with a history of certain clotting conditions. Your provider will review your history.
