Sclerotherapy in Pasadena, CA
Spider veins are vascular conditions that, although harmless, can occasionally cause itching or aching and are aesthetically displeasing. The good news is that Dynasty Dermatology offers Schlerotherapy in Pasadena, CA. It is a minimally invasive, very effective spider vein treatment that can help clear your skin.
Spider Vein Treatment with Sclerotherapy
Sclerotherapy is a simple procedure performed in our office to treat spider veins, often using a vein-light or ultrasound guidance. One of our skin experts injects a special chemical solution, called sclerosant, into the vein. This solution irritates the inside of the vessel, making it collapse and seal shut. Over time, the body absorbs the vein. This process improves the appearance of the veins and reduces symptoms such as aching or burning.
What Happens During the Treatment?
Once the sclerosant solution is injected directly into the vein with a very small needle, you may feel minor discomfort and cramping for 1 to 2 minutes. Sclerosant will irritate the veins, causing them to swell. The whole process will take around 15 to 30 minutes.
After the procedure, you can resume your normal activities, including walking, since sclerotherapy typically doesn’t require downtime. It is best to follow our experts’ post-care guidelines for 1 to 3 weeks. This includes wearing compression stockings, avoiding hot baths or saunas, and refraining from heavy exercise for 2 to 4 days.
You will notice the spider veins disappear in 3 to 6 weeks. However, larger veins may take 3 to 4 months to fade.
