This minimally invasive treatment requires little to no downtime and is available to patients throughout Neptune Beach, Atlantic Beach, Jacksonville Beach, and the surrounding Northeast Florida area.
What Is Sclerotherapy?
Sclerotherapy is a non-surgical treatment commonly used for spider veins and smaller varicose veins, particularly in the legs. During treatment, a small needle is used to inject a medical solution, called a sclerosant, into the targeted vein. The solution causes the vein to close. Your body then redirects blood through healthy nearby vessels while the treated vein gradually becomes less visible.
Who Is a Good Candidate for Sclerotherapy?
Sclerotherapy may be appropriate for Neptune Beach patients with:
- Spider veins that appear as small red, blue, or purple lines on the legs
- Reticular veins, which are slightly larger blue or green veins beneath the skin
- Select small varicose veins
- Residual visible veins following another vein procedure
If venous insufficiency is identified, we discuss minimally invasive vein treatment options to correct the underlying cause and reduce the chance of the wound returning.
Vein Treatment (When Indicated)
What to Expect: The Sclerotherapy Process
Ultrasound Evaluation
For larger or deeper veins, ultrasound imaging may be used to locate the problem vein and determine whether underlying venous insufficiency is contributing to your symptoms.
The Injection
A fine needle delivers a small amount of sclerosing solution directly into the targeted vein. Patients may experience mild stinging or temporary discomfort during the injection.
Compression & Aftercare
Compression stockings may be recommended after treatment to support healing, reduce swelling, and help treated veins remain closed.
Results Over Time
Spider veins often begin fading within approximately 3–6 weeks, while larger treated veins may take several months to improve. Some patients may need more than one treatment session.

Frequently Asked Questions
Where can I get sclerotherapy near Neptune Beach, Florida?
One Vein Clinic serves Neptune Beach residents seeking treatment for spider veins, small varicose veins, and other vein concerns. Patients from Neptune Beach, Atlantic Beach, Jacksonville Beach, and surrounding Northeast Florida communities can schedule an evaluation to determine whether sclerotherapy is appropriate for their veins.
What is the difference between regular and ultrasound-guided sclerotherapy?
Visual sclerotherapy is generally used for veins that can be clearly seen near the skin's surface. Ultrasound-guided sclerotherapy uses real-time imaging to locate veins that are deeper beneath the skin and guide the injection into the intended vessel.
The appropriate technique depends on the type, depth, and location of the vein being treated.
Is sclerotherapy painful?
Most patients experience only brief discomfort during treatment, such as a small needle pinch, mild stinging, or temporary cramping. The procedure is performed in the office and does not normally require general anesthesia.
