Spider vein
treatment
Clearer, smoother-looking legs without surgery. A few quick sclerotherapy sessions fade the spider veins that make you skip shorts season.

Where it helps most
Sclerotherapy uses a gentle solution to close small surface veins so they fade over time. These are the areas patients ask about most. Tap one to see what it targets.
Fades the red, blue, or purple webs that often show up on the thighs, so legs look more even in shorts and swimsuits.
Treats the small veins that cluster around the knees and calves, a common spot after pregnancy or years on your feet.
Small veins around the ankles can be stubborn. Targeted treatment helps them fade, so dresses and sandals feel easy again.
Treating the slightly larger blue veins that feed spider veins can help your results look cleaner and more complete.
For a lot of people, it’s about not thinking twice before wearing shorts, a dress or a swimsuit again.
Not sure if it’s right for you? That’s exactly what the consult is for.
More than clearer legs
Sclerotherapy uses tiny injections instead of surgery. Sessions are quick, and most people walk out and get on with their day.
Treated veins fade over several weeks as your body absorbs them, so the change looks natural rather than sudden.
Most sessions take about 15 to 30 minutes, depending on how many veins you’re treating.
Walking is encouraged right after. You’ll just wear compression stockings for a short time and skip hard workouts briefly.
What to expect, week by week.
Tap through the timeline. Veins fade gradually, so a little patience is part of the process.
A fine needle places a solution into each vein. You may feel a mild sting. Afterward, you slip on compression stockings and take a walk.

Before & after care
A few simple steps help you get the best possible result.
Arrive with clean legs and no lotion, oil or self-tanner on the areas being treated.
You’ll wear them right after treatment. We’ll tell you which type to bring or have on hand.
Avoid aspirin, ibuprofen, and fish oil for a few days before when it’s safe for you, to reduce bruising. Check with your doctor first.
Loose pants or a skirt make it easy to dress over your stockings afterward.
