Our team at True Jewel Cosmetic Center is proud to offer Sclerotherapy as an aesthetic solution to treat spider veins and small varicose veins. Using Asclera®, a highly trusted sclerosing agent, we target the problem veins with precision, helping you achieve natural-looking results without surgery or downtime. If you are dealing with visible red, blue, or purple veins, Sclerotherapy might be the answer you’ve been looking for.

What Is Sclerotherapy and How Does It Work?

Sclerotherapy is a minimally invasive treatment designed to eliminate spider veins and smaller varicose veins. It involves injecting a specialized solution (typically Asclera) directly into the affected veins. This solution irritates the vein’s inner lining, causing it to collapse and fade from view as your body naturally reabsorbs the treated vein over time.

Sclerotherapy works by targeting the veins that are causing unwanted appearance and discomfort, allowing the blood to reroute to healthier veins nearby. The procedure is commonly used for treating spider veins (the small, web-like veins) and reticular veins (larger, deeper veins), offering a highly effective, safe, and minimally invasive method for improving the skin’s look.

This treatment is one of the most popular non-surgical procedures for vein treatment, providing visible results in a short period.

How Sclerotherapy Works to Eliminate Spider Veins

Once the Asclera solution is injected into the targeted veins, it triggers the vein walls to stick together, effectively closing the vein. Over time, your body reabsorbs the treated vein, causing it to fade and disappear.

What sets Sclerotherapy apart from other vein treatments is its dual action: it provides an immediate plumping effect and sets the stage for collagen production, leading to long-term skin improvement. Unlike topical creams, which merely cover veins, Sclerotherapy addresses the underlying problem, providing lasting results.

This procedure does not require anesthesia or incisions, making it a fast and non-invasive option for reducing the appearance of veins and restoring smoother skin.

Areas Sclerotherapy Can Treat

Sclerotherapy is ideal for addressing various vein concerns, including:

Spider Veins: Small, superficial veins that appear as red, blue, or purple lines on the skin, often found on the thighs, calves, or face.

Reticular Veins: Larger veins that appear blue or green, typically located deeper beneath the skin. These veins often appear alongside spider veins.

Small Varicose Veins: Minor varicose veins that do not bulge or protrude significantly but still cause cosmetic concern.

The Sclerotherapy procedure works on these veins by injecting a specialized solution directly into the affected area. Although not suitable for treating large varicose veins or veins with significant valve dysfunction, Sclerotherapy is highly effective in improving the appearance and comfort of mild to moderate vein concerns.

Who Is a Good Candidate for Sclerotherapy?

Sclerotherapy is an excellent treatment option for healthy adults who want to improve the appearance of spider veins or small varicose veins. It’s ideal for those who:

1. Have visible spider veins or mild varicose veins
2. Are in good overall health
3. Prefer a non-surgical solution for vein treatment
4. Are not pregnant or breastfeeding
5. Do not have active skin infections or severe allergies

During your consultation at True Jewel Cosmetic Center, we will assess your specific vein concerns, medical history, and treatment goals to determine if Sclerotherapy is the best option for you.

What Happens Before, During, and After Treatment

Before Your Sclerotherapy Treatment

We’ll start by reviewing your medical history, any current medications, and any relevant symptoms you might have. To minimize the risk of bruising, it’s recommended that you refrain from taking blood-thinning supplements or medications before your treatment, as per your provider’s guidance.

Wear comfortable, loose-fitting clothing on the day of your appointment, and if necessary, bring compression stockings with you, as they may be advised for post-treatment care.

During Your Sclerotherapy Appointment

The treatment itself is quick and efficient. Our expert practitioner will use a fine needle to inject Asclera directly into the targeted veins. We can often treat multiple veins in one session, and anesthesia is typically not required.

While some mild stinging or pressure may be felt, these sensations are usually brief and temporary. The entire process generally takes around 15 to 45 minutes, depending on the number of veins being treated.

Aftercare and Recovery

Post-treatment care is important for ensuring optimal results and recovery. You may experience mild redness, swelling, or bruising at the injection site, but these side effects typically resolve within a few days.

To ensure the best results, you should:

• Wear compression stockings for a few days (as recommended by your practitioner) to aid in circulation and speed up recovery.
• Walk for 15–20 minutes after the procedure to promote healthy blood flow.
• Avoid hot baths, saunas, or intense physical activity for 48 hours.
• Refrain from sitting or standing for long periods immediately after treatment.
• Apply makeup or skincare products gently to avoid irritation.

How Long Will My Sclerotherapy Results Last?

You may begin to see visible improvements as early as 3–6 weeks after treatment for small veins, and 2–3 months for larger veins. The treated veins will gradually fade as your body reabsorbs them.

Typically, Sclerotherapy results last from 1 to 3 years. However, new veins can form over time, so follow-up treatments may be necessary to maintain the results. Many clients schedule touch-up treatments every few years to keep their skin clear and vein-free.
