Treating Spider Veins for a Renewed Look
Sclerotherapy is a minimally invasive procedure designed to treat spider veins by injecting a high-concentration saline solution directly into the affected veins. The solution causes the veins to collapse and gradually be reabsorbed by the body, improving the appearance of your skin. This safe and effective treatment has been used for decades to reduce the appearance of spider veins on the legs and other parts of the body, leaving your skin looking smoother and more even-toned.
At Deseret Dermatology, we offer personalized sclerotherapy treatments to target your specific needs, helping you regain confidence in your skin’s appearance.
Sclerotherapy Treatments with Care
During your sclerotherapy session, Dr. Barlow will carefully inject the saline solution into each spider vein. The procedure typically takes between 30 to 60 minutes, depending on the number and size of the veins being treated. Afterward, the treated veins will gradually fade over the next few weeks.
Following your sclerotherapy treatment, it’s important to wear compression socks continuously for at least one week. This helps improve circulation and supports the healing process, allowing for optimal results. You may experience some minor swelling or bruising at the injection site, but this typically resolves within a few days.
