Sclerotherapy information

Woman's legs

Varicose and spider veins form when the valves inside them leak, allowing blood to trickle back down instead of up toward the heart. The vessels then become enlarged from the extra blood. At The Apex Dermatology Group, our physicians can inject a solution into these veins that will cause them to close entirely. The body will reabsorb the vessels, leading to marked improvement of the appearance of your legs. For small spider veins, laser ablation can be an effective alternative.

The treated veins will generally disappear within 3 to 12 weeks after treatment. Patients can return to normal activity after just 2 or 3 days. The number of treatments needed depends on the severity of your condition. Call for a consultation to find out the best treatment for you.
