The treated vein through Sclerotherapy generally does not return, as the procedure causes them to collapse and be reabsorbed by the body. However, while the treated veins are permanently removed, new varicose or spider veins can develop over time due to underlying vein conditions or lifestyle factors. To maintain the best results, follow-up treatments and proper vein care may be recommended. 

Sclerotherapy is a highly effective treatment for many people; however, it may not be suitable for everyone. Ideal candidates are typically those with visible varicose or spider veins who are in good overall health. We do not advise this treatment for anyone under the conditions of pregnancy, vulnerability to blood clotting, severe vein disease, or allergies to sclerosing solution. 

People with active deep vein thrombosis or superficial vein thrombosis are not eligible for this treatment. Sclerotherapy will not usually be performed on a vein that might be needed for surgical bypass procedures in the near future.

A thorough consultation with our expert team at Seamless Health will help you determine if Sclerotherapy is the right treatment for your specific needs and medical history. This ensures the procedure is both safe and effective for you.

With instant results, you may be able to get rid of an estimated 50% to 80% of the injected veins after the first session. You may start to see initial results from Sclerotherapy within a few weeks after the treatment. However, optimal results typically become visible after about 3 to 4 months, as the treated veins gradually fade and the body absorbs them. 

The exact timeline can vary based on factors such as the size and number of veins treated, individual healing response, and adherence to post-treatment care instructions.

Yes, you can go back to most normal activities immediately after your Sclerotherapy treatment. We encourage you to walk and continue light activity to promote healthy circulation.

Sclerotherapy is a safe and effective treatment, but like any medical procedure, it can have some side effects. Common side effects may include mild bruising, redness, and swelling of the treated area, which will typically resolve within a few days. You may experience temporary skin discoloration or small, red spots known as telangiectatic matting. Side effects of Sclerotherapy may include lumpy or tougher skin surrounding the veins for a longer period. 

In rare cases, more serious side effects like blood clots or allergic reactions can occur. Our staff will discuss all potential risks and side effects with you during your consultation to ensure you are fully informed and comfortable with the procedure.

Avoid taking certain medications before your Sclerotherapy treatment. Your skin may stain when you take antibiotics such as tetracycline or minocycline seven to 10 days before or after sclerotherapy. Obtain safe guidelines for stopping other antibiotic medications from your healthcare provider.

Avoid taking aspirin, ibuprofen, or other anti-inflammatory medications during and after sclerotherapy. There is a possibility that these drugs can interfere with the sclerosing agent's action or increase bleeding. Other medications including insulin or prednisone are not suitable candidates for treatment. 

Important Tips: Don't apply lotion before or after sclerotherapy; try wearing a soft pair of shorts for comfort.

The number of sessions required varies depending on the severity of the veins and the number of veins being treated. Everyone is unique, however, typically, 1-3 sessions are needed for optimal results.
