What is Sclerotherapy?

Our Los Angeles Sclerotherapy is an extremely effective way to treat large spider veins that are not effectively managed with laser vein treatment. It works by injecting a solution directly into the vein to form a scar tissue that eventually fades away, eliminating the appearance of the spider vein for good.

What are Spider Veins?

To understand the treatment of spider veins, it’s first helpful to know what they are and how they developed. Spider veins are small red, purple and blue blood vessels that commonly appear on the legs, thighs, ankles and face. They are easily recognizable because they follow a distinct branching pattern. Though they can be seen in young men and women, they usually become more prominent as people age. There are a number of factors that contribute to the development of spider veins, including:

  • Being overweight or obese
  • Congenital factors
  • Hormonal changes during pregnancy or menopause
  • A history of blood clots
  • Hormone replacement therapy or the use of birth control pills
  • Sitting or standing for long periods of time

What to Expect During Your Procedure

Laser vein treatment at Marcus Medical is a minimally invasive, virtually pain-free procedure that involves sending high energy pulses of light directly into the veins without damaging the surrounding healthy tissue. The blood vessels absorb the light, causing the veins to shrink and eventually disappear completely. Though the length of your procedure will vary depending on how many veins you possess and the size of the treatment area, in general you can expect the entire procedure to last approximately 20 minutes.

After your procedure, there is virtually no downtime, with most clients resuming their normal activities immediately. In some cases, you may experience mild bruising and swelling in the treatment area, though it will subside gradually over time. In addition, you will be advised to avoid strenuous exercise and exposure to the sun after your treatment to ensure an optimal result.

Our specialists will also provide you with guidelines to prevent additional veins from developing in the future. For example, you will be advised to follow a routine exercise regime, maintain a healthy weight, avoid sitting or standing for long periods of time, and refrain from crossing your legs to reduce the chance of a spider or varicose vein recurrence.
