Sclerotherapy
When treatments like compression stockings or over-the-counter anti-inflammatories don’t alleviate swelling or pain, sclerotherapy is another option. Sclerotherapy is an outpatient procedure, meaning that it doesn’t require hospitalization and is typically completed within 20 minutes. If you have pain or swelling due to spider or varicose veins, contact us and we’ll find a treatment that works for you.
Overview
Sclerotherapy is used to treat varicose or spider veins, and in some cases, malformed lymph vessels, and hemorrhoids as well. Large juicy painful varicose veins should be evaluated in the context of your entire venous system to check for reflux, incompetent perforators, and other problems treated by vascular surgeons.

Men and women who suffer from spider veins may want to consider treatment with sclerotherapy. Varicose and spider veins can be caused by a number of things, including:
- Heredity
- Weight gain
- Pregnancy
- Prolonged sitting or standing
