Sclerotherapy Spider Vein Treatment In Venice, CA

Target Stubborn Veins with Sclerotherapy from True Jewel Cosmetic Center

Visible veins on the legs or face can be a source of frustration, especially when they seem resistant to creams, compression, or lifestyle changes.

At True Jewel Cosmetic Center in Venice, CA, we offer minimally invasive Sclerotherapy treatments to help reduce the appearance of spider veins and small varicose veins safely and effectively. Our team uses Asclera®, a trusted sclerosing agent, to target problem veins with precision, improve circulation, and give your skin a smoother, more even look.

If you’ve been bothered by fine red or blue veins under your skin, or have larger greenish reticular veins affecting your comfort or appearance, Sclerotherapy may be the right option for you.

What Is Sclerotherapy?

Sclerotherapy is a non-surgical treatment used to eliminate spider veins and reticular veins. The procedure involves injecting a specialized solution, typically Asclera (polidocanol), directly into the affected veins. This solution irritates the lining of the vein, causing it to collapse and be reabsorbed by the body over time. As the treated vein fades, blood naturally reroutes to healthier vessels nearby.

Sclerotherapy is widely recognized for its safety, convenience, and long-standing success in vein treatment. It’s one of the most popular aesthetic procedures for improving visible veins on the legs and, in some cases, the face.

How Sclerotherapy Treatment Works

A Simple, In-Office Procedure

Each Sclerotherapy session begins with a consultation to assess the areas of concern and determine which veins are suitable for treatment. The procedure itself typically takes between 15 to 45 minutes, depending on the number and size of the veins being treated.

A fine needle is used to inject Asclera directly into the vein. You may feel a slight pinch or mild discomfort during each injection, but most clients tolerate the procedure well without numbing.

Once injected, the solution causes the vein walls to stick together, shutting down the vessel and triggering natural absorption by the body. Over time, the treated veins fade, improving the appearance of the skin and reducing symptoms like itching, swelling, or heaviness.

What Can Sclerotherapy Treat?

Sclerotherapy is ideal for treating the following vein concerns:

Spider Veins: Thin red, blue, or purple lines resembling a web. These small veins often appear on the thighs, calves, ankles, or face.

Reticular Veins: Slightly larger greenish-blue veins located deeper beneath the skin. Also known as “feeder veins,” these often accompany spider veins.

Small Varicose Veins: Minor varicose veins under 3mm in diameter that don’t protrude or bulge significantly.

While Sclerotherapy is not suitable for large varicose veins or veins with significant valve dysfunction, it remains a reliable choice for aesthetic vein improvement and relief from mild symptoms.

Who Is a Good Candidate for Sclerotherapy?

Sclerotherapy is appropriate for most adults who want to reduce the appearance of visible veins for cosmetic or comfort reasons. You may be a good candidate if:

1. You are in good general health.
2. You have spider veins or small varicose veins.
3. You are not currently pregnant or breastfeeding.
4. You do not have a history of blood clots or clotting disorders.
5. You are not allergic to polidocanol or similar medications.

A consultation at our Venice location can help determine your suitability based on your health history, goals, and specific vein concerns.

What to Expect Before, During, and After Sclerotherapy

Before Treatment

We’ll review your medical history, current medications, and any relevant symptoms. You should avoid blood-thinning supplements or medications before your session if advised by your provider. Wear loose, comfortable clothing, and bring compression stockings with you if recommended.

During Treatment

Each session is quick and straightforward. Our practitioner will use a fine needle to inject Asclera into the selected veins. Multiple veins can often be treated in one visit, and no anesthesia is needed. Mild stinging or pressure is normal but temporary.

Aftercare and Recovery

You’ll be asked to wear compression stockings for 2–3 days after spider vein treatment and up to 7 days for reticular vein cases. Walking for 15 to 20 minutes immediately after your session is encouraged to promote healthy circulation.

For optimal healing, avoid the following for at least 48 hours:

• Hot baths or saunas
• Long periods of sitting or standing still
• Intense exercise
• Direct sun exposure
• Medications or supplements not approved by your provider

Most people return to their normal activities the same day, with minor bruising or redness that fades within days.

Sclerotherapy Results and Maintenance

You may begin to see improvement in 3 to 6 weeks for small veins and 2 to 3 months for larger veins. Multiple sessions spaced a few weeks apart may be needed for full results.

Once treated, the vein does not return, but new spider veins can develop over time.

Maintenance treatments every few years can help preserve your results. Following post-treatment instructions carefully (especially wearing compression garments) can help improve outcomes and reduce complications.

Sclerotherapy Spider Vein Treatment FAQs

How many Sclerotherapy sessions will I need?

Most clients need between 2 to 4 treatment sessions to see optimal results, but this can vary based on how many veins you have, how visible they are, and how your body responds to the treatment. Some people with more extensive spider or reticular veins may need additional follow-up appointments for full clearance.

Is Sclerotherapy painful?

Sclerotherapy is generally well tolerated. Most people describe the sensation as a mild pinch, slight stinging, or temporary burning during the injection. The discomfort is brief, and anesthesia is not required. A topical numbing cream may be used if you’re particularly sensitive.

How soon will I see results after Sclerotherapy?

You may begin to see an improvement in spider veins within 3 to 6 weeks after treatment. Larger reticular veins may take closer to 2 to 3 months to fully fade. Final results depend on how quickly your body reabsorbs the treated vein and the number of sessions you undergo.

Can Sclerotherapy treat all types of veins?

Sclerotherapy is highly effective for spider veins and small to medium reticular or varicose veins. However, it is not suitable for large, bulging varicose veins or veins with underlying valve dysfunction. In those cases, other treatments like laser therapy or surgical vein procedures may be more appropriate.

Are there any risks or side effects?

Most side effects are mild and temporary. Common ones include bruising, redness, swelling, or slight tenderness at the injection sites. Occasionally, tiny red blood vessels (known as matting) may develop near the treated area but typically fade over time. Serious complications are very rare.

Is Sclerotherapy safe for everyone?

Sclerotherapy is a safe and widely used treatment, but it’s not recommended for people who are currently pregnant, breastfeeding, or dealing with certain health conditions such as blood-clotting disorders or a history of deep-vein thrombosis. A consultation will help determine if it’s right for you.

What is Asclera, and how does it work?

Asclera is an FDA-approved sclerosing agent made with polidocanol. It works by irritating the inner lining of the targeted vein, causing the vein walls to stick together and seal shut. Over time, the body naturally absorbs the closed vein and reroutes blood flow through healthier vessels.

Do I need to wear compression stockings after treatment?

Yes. Compression stockings are essential to help the treated veins collapse fully and to reduce the risk of complications such as swelling or clotting. For spider veins, you’ll typically wear them for 2 to 3 days. For larger reticular veins, you may need to wear them for up to 7 days.

Can I exercise after Sclerotherapy?

You should avoid vigorous exercise or high-impact activities for at least 48 hours after your session. Walking is encouraged, as it promotes healthy circulation and helps the healing process. Avoid hot environments (like saunas or hot yoga) and intense workouts until your provider gives you the go-ahead.
