Eliminate Spider Veins Without Downtime

Vein disease expert Dr. Steven Mehta offers sclerotherapy for spider veins (the little red or purple veins near the skin surface) and small bulging or varicose veins. The minimally invasive, FDA-approved treatment only takes 10-30 minutes and there is no downtime.

During the procedure, Dr. Mehta uses a very fine needle to inject the veins with a medical agent called a sclerosant. This causes a chemical reaction that makes the walls of the vessels stick together, closing the veins. Over time, the veins are reabsorbed into the body and fade from view.

Versatile

Sclerotherapy can treat small-to-medium sized varicose and spider veins on the face, hands, torso, legs and feet.

Fast and Nearly Painless

When performed by an experienced provider like Dr. Mehta, treatment is virtually painless and usually takes 30 minutes or less.

Effective

The procedure eliminates the visible appearance of the veins and improves circulation by redirecting blood through healthy veins.

Enjoy Long-Lasting Comfort and Confidence

Occasionally, more than one session is needed, however, this depends on your unique case and vascular health. After treatment, the veins will gradually disappear with full results visible in about two months. Generally, the treated veins will not come back.

FAQ

Is sclerotherapy safe?

Yes, sclerotherapy has been used since the 1930s. It’s often the preferred method for eliminating spider veins and small varicose veins because it’s so well-proven and has little to no side effects. Occasionally, patients may experience bruising, soreness, redness and temporarily darkened skin at the injection site.

Does sclerotherapy hurt?

Sclerotherapy relies on a very fine needle and is virtually painless. You might feel small pinches in the treatment area. The procedure doesn’t require anesthesia and you will not be left with any scars.

Who is a good candidate for sclerotherapy?

Individuals with spider veins or small varicose veins may be candidates for sclerotherapy. Larger varicose veins tend to respond better to other types of treatment. At your consultation, Dr. Mehta will determine if sclerotherapy is your best option and work with you to create a personalized treatment plan.

What can I expect after sclerotherapy?

After treatment, Dr. Mehta may have you walk around to get the blood flowing. Depending on your case and the location of the veins, he might also recommend that you wear a compression garment and avoid sun exposure for several days. You’ll be able to go back to work or other activities right away.
