Visible veins on your legs or face can be frustrating and may affect your confidence. Fortunately, Spider Vein Treatment (Sclerotherapy) is a trusted and minimally invasive procedure that effectively reduces the appearance of spider and small varicose veins. At Dr. Kismet’s Aesthetic Clinic, this treatment is expertly performed using polidocanol, a safe and proven sclerosing agent.
Let’s explore how this treatment works, what to expect, and why it’s one of the most popular choices for vein removal.
What Is Sclerotherapy?
Sclerotherapy is a non-surgical treatment that targets unwanted veins by injecting them with a solution that causes them to shrink, collapse, and eventually fade. It’s considered the gold standard for treating:
-
Spider veins (tiny red or blue veins near the skin’s surface)
-
Small varicose veins (twisted, enlarged veins just under the skin)
During the procedure, a very fine needle is used to inject a sclerosing agent into the affected veins. At Dr. Kismet’s clinic, we use polidocanol, a well-established and FDA-approved agent known for its efficacy and comfort during treatment.
How Does Polidocanol Work?
Polidocanol is a gentle but effective sclerosing agent. It irritates the lining of the vein, causing the vein walls to swell and seal shut. Over time, the treated vein is absorbed naturally by the body and disappears from view.
Key benefits of polidocanol in sclerotherapy:
-
Suitable for both spider veins and small varicose veins
-
Minimal discomfort during injection
-
Low risk of complications
-
No anesthesia required
Most patients tolerate polidocanol very well, and it is particularly effective for cosmetic improvement of the legs and facial veins.
What to Expect During and After Treatment
Sclerotherapy is an in-office procedure that typically takes 15–45 minutes, depending on the number and size of veins treated.
Here’s what the typical experience looks like:
-
A consultation with Dr. Kismet to assess vein severity
-
Cleansing of the treatment area
-
Injection of polidocanol with a fine needle
-
Brief compression applied after treatment
Patients often return to normal activities immediately, although high-impact exercise should be avoided for a few days. Compression stockings may be recommended to enhance results.
You may notice mild bruising or redness initially, but this usually resolves within a week. Final results typically become visible within 3–6 weeks. Multiple sessions may be needed based on the number of visible veins.
Is Sclerotherapy Right for You?
Spider Vein Treatment (Sclerotherapy) is ideal for individuals who:
-
Have visible spider veins or small varicose veins
-
Want a non-surgical cosmetic solution
-
Are in generally good health
-
Are not currently pregnant or breastfeeding
Note: Sclerotherapy does not prevent future vein formation, so maintaining healthy circulation with regular movement and avoiding prolonged standing or sitting is advised.
Complementary Treatments – IPL for Fine Vessels
Some facial veins or extremely tiny spider veins may be too small for sclerotherapy. In such cases, Dr. Kismet offers Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) treatment to target and break down these small vessels safely and effectively.
Combining sclerotherapy with IPL provides a comprehensive solution for patients seeking smoother, vein-free skin on both the face and body.
Cost and Treatment Packages
Sclerotherapy at Dr. Kismet’s Loomis office starts at $200 per session. During your consultation, a customized plan will be developed based on your specific vein concerns and skin condition.
