Get Rid of Unwanted Veins

with Sclerotherapy

Veins often become prominent on the skin's surface as people age, most commonly in the legs and face. While this isn't a severe condition, it can make you self-conscious about your appearance and interfere with your day-to-day life. Sclerotherapy can eliminate spider and varicose veins, allowing you to feel more confident in your appearance and live happier.

What is sclerotherapy?

Clear out unsightly veins

We work to remove unwanted veins on the body through sclerotherapy, which uses chemical injections to eliminate unsightly spider veins and varicose veins safely.

Sclerotherapy is a safe way to eliminate unwanted veins without surgery, so you can get back to enjoying your active lifestyle. During treatment, your provider will inject a chemical solution into your vein that causes it to collapse and eventually disappear over time. This is ideal for people who want to avoid surgery or take care of their vein issues quickly and affordably. Atlanta sclerotherapy expert Dr. Kerolus uses laser therapy to treat delicate veins on the face. Contact our office today if you're interested in learning more about vein therapy! We look forward to helping you start on your path toward clear, healthy skin.

What are
the benefits of sclerotherapy?

One reason sclerotherapy is so popular is that it's non-invasive.

This means there's no surgery and minimal downtime, making it an excellent choice for patients who want to get rid of unsightly veins without undergoing invasive treatments. As a result, many people choose this as an alternative to varicose vein surgery and are thrilled by their sclerotherapy results.

Effective Treatment for Varicose and Spider Veins

Sclerotherapy effectively reduces the appearance of both varicose and spider veins, improving the skin's appearance and alleviating related symptoms such as aching, swelling, and burning sensations.

Minimally Invasive Procedure

The treatment involves only a small needle injection, making it less invasive than surgical options. This means less discomfort during the procedure and a lower risk of complications.

Quick Recovery Time

Most Atlanta sclerotherapy patients can resume normal activities within a day, with minimal downtime required. This makes sclerotherapy an excellent option for busy schedules that cannot afford lengthy recovery periods.

Long-Lasting Results

Once treated, veins do not reappear, providing long-lasting results. Many patients find that the aesthetic improvements and symptom relief are maintained for years.

Improved Confidence

Eliminating unsightly veins can enhance one's confidence and comfort in showing one's legs. Whether wearing shorts, skirts, or swimwear, patients often feel more at ease with their appearance.

Pain Relief

Sclerotherapy can alleviate discomfort associated with varicose veins, such as aching, swelling, and burning sensations, improving overall leg health and comfort.

What Aesthetic Issues Does Sclerotherapy Address?

Sclerotherapy addresses the appearance of varicose and spider veins, which can be unsightly and cause discomfort. These veins often appear as bulging, blue or purple veins on the legs, but they can also occur on other parts of the body. Spider veins are smaller, red or blue veins that resemble a web or tree branches.

Sclerotherapy is most commonly used on the legs but can also be applied to other areas with visible veins, such as the face and hands. This procedure helps improve the skin's appearance by reducing vein visibility and enhancing overall skin smoothness. Patients often seek sclerotherapy for cosmetic reasons and to relieve symptoms associated with varicose veins, such as pain, swelling, and cramping.

Your Sclerotherapy Procedure

Rejuvenate Your Body

Prior to your procedure for Sclerotherapy Atlanta Facial Plastic Surgeon Dr. Kerolus will discuss with you which veins you want treated. The next step is a numbing cream for your legs. After that, your provider will insert a tiny needle into each vein and inject a fluid that causes it to collapse and shrink away from your skin over time.

Sclerotherapy Recovery

Keep Veins Away From Seeing Eyes

Recovery from sclerotherapy is usually straightforward. If you have no complications, you should be able to return to most activities within one to two days. Walking and even light exercise can be started sooner if desired. The majority of our Atlanta sclerotherapy patients are back to work immediately. There may be some mild swelling or bruising for a few weeks after treatment, but it's nothing noticeable without close inspection.

Sclerotherapy Results

Take Care of the Skin You're In

As you would expect, sclerotherapy's effects are long-lasting. Results are typically effective for about a year but can last up to two years or longer. Additionally, it is possible to have more than one treatment if necessary. For example, if you need veins in your ankles treated after suffering from a bout of varicose veins on your legs, We can perform both treatments at once. Most patients only require one treatment; however, those who suffer from chronic vein issues may require multiple treatments over time.

Sclerotherapy Cost

The cost of sclerotherapy can vary depending on the extent of treatment required and the number of sessions needed. Factors influencing the cost include the size and number of veins treated, the specific solution used, and the location of the veins on the body.

At Kerolus Plastic Surgery, we offer competitive pricing and flexible payment options to make this effective treatment accessible to our patients in Atlanta, GA.

Sclerotherapy Frequently Asked Questions

Does sclerotherapy hurt?

Before sclerotherapy, a numbing cream is applied to minimize discomfort. Most patients describe a slight stinging sensation similar to that experienced during a simple blood draw. The most common side effect following treatment is temporary bruising in and around treated veins, which can be treated easily using compression stockings and ice packs.

What are the risks?

All procedures have risks, and sclerotherapy is no exception. Before pursuing treatment, it's essential to consider both short-term and long-term risks involved in treating unwanted veins. Although infrequent, sclerotherapy can cause serious side effects such as ulcers and poor circulation. We want you to be informed about your options and are happy to discuss any concerns you may have.

How long does sclerotherapy last?

The results of sclerotherapy are long-lasting, with treated veins typically disappearing for good. However, new veins may develop over time, requiring additional treatment. The longevity of the results can be influenced by factors such as lifestyle, genetics, and overall vein health. Regular follow-up appointments can help manage and maintain the appearance of your legs.

What to avoid after sclerotherapy?

After sclerotherapy, it's important to avoid vigorous exercise, hot baths, and sun exposure for at least 48 hours. Compression stockings should be worn as recommended to ensure proper healing. These stockings help compress the treated veins, promote blood flow, and reduce the risk of complications such as swelling and bruising.

What helps sclerotherapy heal faster?

To promote faster healing, follow post-procedure care instructions closely, wear compression stockings, stay active with light walking, and avoid activities that may strain the treated areas. Maintaining a healthy lifestyle, including a balanced diet and regular exercise, can also support quicker sclerotherapy recovery and optimal results. Additionally, keeping the treated areas moisturized and protected from the sun can aid in the healing process.
