Are your spider veins making you uncomfortable and hurting your self-confidence? Laser Care offers sclerotherapy treatments, which are a simple, non-surgical way of eliminating your unwanted veins. Unlike other invasive or surgical spider vein removal techniques, sclerotherapy is a more cost-effective option to remove your unwanted veins for good.
What is Sclerotherapy?
Sclerotherapy is a safe and effective cosmetic procedure that treats spider veins. Sclerotherapy involves injecting a sclerosing solution into the targeted veins, which causes them to scar and collapse. As a result, the blood flows to other healthy veins while the collapsed veins are absorbed by the body, causing your unsightly veins to fade over the next few weeks.
What is the Cost of Sclerotherapy?
Insurance might not cover your sclerotherapy expenses unless it is medically necessary, so you will probably have to pay out of pocket to eliminate unwanted spider veins. The cost of sclerotherapy ranges from $350 -$700 per session.
How Long Does Sclerotherapy Take?
Sclerotherapy is usually a quick and easy procedure. A single sclerotherapy session can last 30 to 60 min, depending on the amount and severity of the veins treated. You can expect to be in and out of your provider’s office within an hour.
What Results Can I Expect With Sclerotherapy?
Results will vary from patient to patient. Seeing visible results after sclerotherapy treatment may take three to six weeks. You may need a series of one to five sclerotherapy sessions depending on the number and size of the veins.
At Laser Care, one of our medical providers will examine your spider veins and determine how many more treatments you need during your follow-up appointments. They will tailor your number of treatment sessions to your needs and cosmetic goals.
Am I a Good Candidate for Sclerotherapy?
Most people with spider veins or small varicose veins are suitable candidates for sclerotherapy. If you are self-conscious about your unsightly veins, sclerotherapy may be a promising treatment for you.
The ideal candidates for sclerotherapy are also healthy patients with realistic expectations about the procedure. Patients who are pregnant or have blood clotting problems are not great candidates for this procedure. Schedule a consultation with one of our medical providers at Laser Care to find out if sclerotherapy is the best treatment for your cosmetic goals.
