Sclerotherapy
Fade visible veins with a simple injection.
Sclerotherapy involves injecting a solution directly into spider or small varicose veins, causing them to collapse and fade from view over the following weeks. It remains one of the most established treatments for visible leg veins.
What It Treats
- Spider veins
- Small varicose veins
- Uneven leg skin tone caused by visible veins
What to Expect
- 1A consultation to evaluate which veins are appropriate for injection
- 2A series of small injections directly into the vein, about 20 to 30 minutes
- 3Compression stockings recommended for a period after treatment
- 4Fading over several weeks, sometimes requiring more than one session
Downtime
Minimal. Bruising or mild discoloration at injection sites can last 1 to 2 weeks. Most patients resume normal activity the same day.
Frequently Asked Questions
Treated veins typically don't return, but new veins can form over time due to genetics and lifestyle, which is why some patients return periodically for touch-ups.
Sclerotherapy is available at Nuluk Aesthetics in North Bergen, NJ, serving patients throughout Hudson County, Jersey City, and West New York.
