What Is Sclerotherapy?
Sclerotherapy is a minimally invasive procedure in which a specialized solution is injected directly into a problem vein, causing it to collapse, seal shut, and eventually fade from view as the body reabsorbs it. It's considered the gold-standard treatment for spider veins and smaller varicose veins that aren't good candidates for laser or radiofrequency ablation.
Who Is a Good Candidate for Sclerotherapy?
- Visible spider veins (small red, blue, or purple veins) on the legs
- Smaller varicose veins not requiring laser or radiofrequency treatment
- Reticular veins (the small feeder veins that often accompany spider veins)
- Patients seeking a quick, low-downtime treatment before an event or beach season
What to Expect: The Sclerotherapy Process
Ultrasound Evaluation
For larger or deeper veins, we use ultrasound guidance to precisely map and target the vein before treatment.
The Injection
A fine needle delivers a small amount of sclerosing solution directly into the vein. Most patients describe mild stinging, not significant pain.Compression & Aftercare
Compression & Aftercare
Compression stockings help the vein seal properly and reduce any bruising or swelling as it heals.
Results Over Time
Treated veins typically fade over 3–6 weeks for spider veins and up to 3–4 months for larger veins, with some patients needing a follow-up session.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is sclerotherapy covered by insurance for Ponte Vedra patients?
Sclerotherapy is generally covered by insurance when performed to treat a medical condition such as bleeding, pain, or skin changes; purely cosmetic spider vein treatment is typically self-pay. We'll review your specific case and coverage during your consultation.
How many sclerotherapy sessions will I need?
Most patients need 2–4 sessions spaced 4–6 weeks apart, depending on the number and size of the veins being treated.
What is recovery like after sclerotherapy?
Recovery is minimal — most patients return to normal activity the same day, though we recommend avoiding direct sun exposure and intense exercise on the treated area for about 48 hours.
