Sclerotherapy treatments are a good option for patients who are bothered by small or medium blood vessels that can be seen through the skin of their face and body. Sclerotherapy patients must be in good health and should not have a history of blood clots or be pregnant. The treatment is performed in a private room within a short time and typically without anesthesia. The spider veins being treated will be determined, and then a fine-gauge needle will be inserted into the vein and the sclerosing solution will be applied. The needle will be removed and gauze will be applied to the injection site to stop any minor bleeding. This procedure can be repeated to treat all spider veins. Once you are done with your sclerotherapy treatment, you can resume your normal activities. You may see some redness, bruising, or swelling in the treated areas, but this will usually subside naturally. It can take a while for the treatment to show results, but the treated spider veins should shrink, turn white, and then fade or disappear. You may need at least two treatments to get your best results, but most people are happy with their results after the first session.

The unattractive spider veins that appear on your face and body can be annoying as they get bigger and more visible over time so it is best that they be treated as soon as possible.
