Sclerotherapy

What Is Sclerotherapy?

Sclerotherapy is a minimally invasive medical treatment used to reduce the appearance of spider veins and small varicose veins, most commonly on the legs. The procedure involves injecting a specialized solution directly into the affected veins, causing them to collapse, seal shut, and gradually fade from view as the body naturally reabsorbs them.

Sclerotherapy improves both the appearance of visible veins and, in some cases, symptoms such as aching, swelling, or heaviness in the legs. Treatments are performed in-clinic by trained medical professionals and require little to no downtime.

Four reasons why people choose Sclerotherapy

01

Improves the Appearance of Spider & Small Varicose Veins

Sclerotherapy effectively fades visible veins, creating smoother, clearer-looking skin.

02

Minimally Invasive With No Surgery

The procedure does not require incisions, anesthesia, or lengthy recovery time.

03

Fast, In-Office Treatment

Sessions are typically completed in 30–45 minutes, making it easy to fit into a busy schedule.

04

Proven, Long-Standing Treatment

Sclerotherapy has been safely used for decades and remains one of the most effective treatments for unwanted veins.

Why Choose Sclerotherapy?

Sclerotherapy is an ideal solution for patients who want to address visible veins without surgery.

Non-Surgical Vein Treatment

Sclerotherapy offers visible improvement without incisions or scarring.

Improves Both Appearance & Comfort

In addition to cosmetic benefits, many patients experience relief from discomfort associated with spider veins.

Custom-Treated for Each Patient

The treatment plan is tailored based on the size, location, and severity of the veins being treated.

Minimal Downtime

Most patients return to normal activities the same day.

Long-Lasting Results

Once treated veins fade, they do not return. However, new veins may develop over time, which can be addressed with future treatments.

Performed in a Medical Setting

At AMG Medical Group, sclerotherapy is performed by trained medical professionals who ensure precise technique, safety, and optimal results.

Sclerotherapy: Science & Safety

Sclerotherapy works by injecting a sclerosing agent into targeted veins. This solution irritates the vein lining, causing the vein to close and redirect blood flow to healthier veins. Over time, the treated vein is absorbed by the body and becomes less visible.


Safety

Sclerotherapy is FDA-approved and widely used in medical practice. When performed by trained medical professionals, it is considered safe and effective.

Common side effects are typically mild and temporary and may include slight bruising, redness, or tenderness at the injection site. A medical evaluation is performed prior to treatment to ensure the procedure is appropriate for your vein type and health history.
