Sclerotherapy is a minimally invasive treatment used to improve the appearance of spider veins and selected small varicose veins, most commonly on the legs.
During treatment, a healthcare professional injects a sclerosing solution directly into a targeted vein. The solution irritates the lining of the vein, causing it to close. Blood is redirected through healthier veins, and the treated vein gradually fades.
At Adorne Medical Aesthetics in Chehalis, Washington, treatment begins with an assessment of the veins, your symptoms, medical history, and goals. Not every visible vein is appropriate for cosmetic sclerotherapy. Your provider may recommend additional evaluation when symptoms or the appearance of the veins suggest an underlying circulation concern.
Results develop gradually. Spider veins and small varicose veins may improve in approximately three to six weeks, while larger treated veins may take three to four months. Some veins require more than one treatment. Individual results and timelines vary.
Sclerotherapy is priced at $350 per treatment.

benefits of Sclerotherapy
Sclerotherapy can reduce the appearance of spider veins and selected small varicose veins. The treatment plan depends on the size, location, and number of veins being addressed.
Sclerotherapy is performed through small injections rather than surgery. Most people can walk shortly after treatment and resume many routine activities the same day while following their provider’s instructions.
Improves the Appearance of Visible Veins
Performed Without Surgery
Treated veins fade gradually. Spider veins and small varicose veins may improve in approximately three to six weeks. Larger veins may take three to four months. More than one treatment may be needed, and new veins can develop over time.
Results
Walking may be encouraged soon after treatment. Compression stockings or bandages may be recommended for a period of time. Your provider will explain activity, exercise, skin care, and sun exposure instructions based on your treatment.
Recovery and Aftercare
A fine needle is used to inject a sclerosing solution into the targeted veins. The number of injections depends on the size and number of veins treated. Some people experience brief stinging, burning, or cramping.
Precise Injections
The treatment area will be cleansed. Follow the preparation instructions provided by Adorne. Do not stop prescribed medication unless the prescribing healthcare professional has told you to do so.
Preparation
Your provider will identify the veins that can be treated and explain the recommended number of sessions, expected timeline, possible alternatives, cost, and potential risks.
Treatment Plan
Your appointment begins with a review of your goals, symptoms, medical history, previous vein treatments, allergies, and medications. Your provider will examine the veins and determine whether sclerotherapy is appropriate. Additional evaluation may be recommended when necessary.

Sclerotherapy has been used for many years, but no medical procedure is without risk. Possible effects include bruising, swelling, discomfort, inflammation, skin discoloration, small sores, allergic reaction, infection, tissue injury, and blood clots. Rare complications can include deep vein thrombosis or pulmonary embolism. Your provider will review your medical history and the risks associated with the specific solution used.

Spider veins and small varicose veins may improve in approximately three to six weeks. Larger treated veins may take three to four months. The veins may not disappear completely, and more than one treatment may be needed.
Individual results and experiences vary.
When will I see results?
Experiences vary. The needle sticks may cause brief discomfort, and the solution may cause stinging, burning, or cramping. Tell your provider if you experience significant pain during treatment.

Important Safety Information
Sclerotherapy is not appropriate for everyone. Tell your provider about all medical conditions, previous vein treatments, allergies, medications, supplements, bleeding concerns, and any personal or family history of blood clots. Tell your provider if you are pregnant, may be pregnant, are breastfeeding, or have recently given birth.
Possible effects include bruising, swelling, warmth, tenderness, redness, itching, inflammation, areas of hardness, skin discoloration, small sores, and temporary lumps. Allergic reaction, infection, tissue injury, and blood clots are also possible. Rarely, a clot may travel to a deeper vein or the lungs.
Seek immediate medical attention for difficulty breathing, chest pain, dizziness, coughing up blood, sudden weakness or numbness, difficulty speaking, severe headache, or significant and increasing leg pain or swelling.
The risks, contraindications, and aftercare instructions depend partly on the sclerosing solution used. Your healthcare professional will review the appropriate information before treatment.
