Sclerotherapy

Gold Standard Treatment for Spider & Reticular Veins

Despite the popularity of laser vein treatments, sclerotherapy remains the gold standard for treating larger blue reticular veins and spider veins that are not suitable for laser therapy.

Common Causes of Larger Veins

These veins affect approximately 50% of adult women and are often caused by factors such as pregnancy, genetics, and hormonal changes.

How Sclerotherapy Works

Sclerotherapy involves injecting a specialized solution into the vein, causing it to collapse and fade over time. At Paradise Medspa & Wellness, we use FDA-approved Asclera® (polidocanol), a safe and effective treatment for vein removal.

Relief from Varicose Vein Symptoms

Beyond cosmetic improvements, sclerotherapy can help relieve discomfort associated with varicose veins, including:
✔ Night cramps
✔ Swelling
✔ Aching
✔ Burning

What to Expect After Treatment

To ensure optimal results, patients must wear compression stockings for at least two days post-procedure to keep the treated veins collapsed.

When Sclerotherapy May Not Be the Best Option

While highly effective, sclerotherapy is not recommended for very large, bulging, or ropy veins. These cases may require more invasive treatments like radiofrequency ablation or vein stripping.
