More than 80 million Americans suffer from varicose veins
and spider veins. These bulgy, swollen veins are not only aesthetically
displeasing, but they can also cause aches, cramps, fatigue, cramping, and
other uncomfortable symptoms. Thankfully, sclerotherapy is considered to be a
highly effective treatment for getting rid of varicose veins and spider veins.
Sclerotherapy is a fast, relatively painful varicose veins treatment. The doctor injects the affected vein with a chemical sclerant. This causes the vein to scar up and collapse, redirecting blood flow to healthier veins. The treated vein fades after a few weeks, typically after a couple of treatments.

Why is sclerotherapy such a popular treatment for varicose
veins and spider veins? Some of the benefits of this treatment include:
- Fast and effective – A session lasts less than 30 minutes.
- No downtime – Normal daily activities can be resumed right away.
- Minimal discomfort – Treatment is mostly painless, although some burning or cramping immediately following the injection may occur.
