Combining a keen eye for cosmetic detail with medical expertise, he is committed to delivering results that not only improve aesthetics but also enhance leg comfort and function.

What Is Sclerotherapy?

Sclerotherapy is a time-tested medical procedure designed to treat unsightly or uncomfortable veins. During the treatment, a sclerosing agent is injected directly into the targeted veins. This solution irritates the lining of the blood vessel, causing it to seal shut. Over time, the treated vein fades from view and is reabsorbed by the body.

The blood that once flowed through the problematic vein is naturally redirected to healthier veins nearby. This helps reduce visible discoloration and swelling, improving both the cosmetic and functional aspects of your circulatory system.

Sclerotherapy is most commonly used to treat:

  • Spider veins (also known as telangiectasia)
  • Reticular veins (slightly larger, bluish veins)
  • Early-stage varicose veins

Who Is a Good Candidate for Sclerotherapy?

Most healthy adults experiencing visible or bothersome veins are suitable candidates for sclerotherapy. The best results are typically seen in individuals with:

  • Spider veins on the thighs, calves, or ankles
  • Mild to moderate varicose veins
  • No history of clotting disorders or poor circulation
  • Realistic expectations about the outcome

This treatment is not recommended for:

  • Pregnant or breastfeeding individuals
  • Those with active infections or inflammation in the treatment area
  • Patients taking certain blood thinners or who have a history of deep vein thrombosis

Dr. Solomon conducts a comprehensive medical evaluation to ensure your safety and determine whether sclerotherapy is the right option for you.

What Causes Spider and Varicose Veins?

Understanding why veins become visible is essential to addressing the problem effectively. These conditions often result from weakened or damaged valves within the veins. When these valves fail, blood begins to pool instead of flowing upward toward the heart, causing the veins to stretch and become prominent.

Common contributing factors include:

  • Prolonged standing or sitting
  • Genetics and family history
  • Hormonal changes (e.g., pregnancy, menopause)
  • Weight gain or obesity
  • Age-related vein weakening
  • UV exposure (especially for spider veins on the legs and ankles)

While lifestyle changes can help prevent worsening, sclerotherapy remains one of the most effective treatments for existing spider or varicose veins.

What to Expect During Your Appointment

Sclerotherapy is performed right in our Beverly Hills clinic and requires no anesthesia. Here is what a typical treatment involves:

  1. Initial Assessment: Dr. Solomon examines the veins to determine the severity and map out a customized treatment plan.
  2. Preparation: The treatment area is cleansed, and you’ll lie comfortably with your legs elevated.
  3. Injection: Using a very fine needle, the sclerosing solution is injected into the vein. Several veins can be treated in a single session.
  4. Compression & Aftercare: After the injections, compression stockings may be applied to help close the veins and promote healing.

The entire session takes about 30 to 45 minutes. You’ll be able to stand and walk immediately after, and in most cases, you can return to work or daily activities the same day.

Recovery and Aftercare Tips

Sclerotherapy has minimal recovery time, but following a few simple steps can enhance results and minimize side effects:

  • Wear compression stockings for the first few days to reduce swelling and aid vein closure
  • Walk daily for at least 10–15 minutes to improve circulation
  • Avoid strenuous exercise and hot baths for about 5–7 days
  • Limit sun exposure to prevent dark spots from forming on the treated area

Most side effects are mild and temporary. These may include:

  • Redness or bruising
  • Temporary darkening of the skin (hyperpigmentation)
  • Slight swelling or itching

These symptoms usually subside within a few days to weeks. Rare complications such as allergic reactions or superficial blood clots are uncommon when treatment is performed by a skilled specialist.

How Many Sessions Are Needed?

While some patients see noticeable results after just one treatment, multiple sessions may be required depending on the size and number of veins involved. Most individuals benefit from 2–3 sessions, spaced about four to six weeks apart.

Dr. Solomon will tailor your treatment plan based on:

  • The severity and extent of your vein condition
  • Your personal goals
  • Your body’s response to the first session

Preventing Future Spider and Varicose Veins

While some vein conditions are unavoidable due to genetics or hormonal changes, there are steps you can take to reduce your risk:

  • Maintain a healthy weight
  • Avoid sitting or standing for prolonged periods without movement
  • Wear compression stockings when traveling or working long hours on your feet
  • Stay active with regular walking or low-impact exercise
  • Protect your skin from excessive sun exposure

These habits not only support your vein health but can also prolong the effects of your sclerotherapy treatment.
