Say goodbye to spider veins
What is Sclerotherapy?
Sclerotherapy is a well-established, minimally invasive treatment for spider veins and small varicose veins.
This technique has been trusted by vein specialists for decades, and with today’s advances in medical-grade solutions and ultrasound guidance, it’s safer and more effective than ever. During sclerotherapy, a physician injects a special solution directly into the affected vein. This solution irritates the vein lining, causing it to collapse and eventually be reabsorbed by the body. The blood flow is naturally rerouted to healthier veins, and over time, the treated vein fades from view.
Most commonly used on the legs, sclerotherapy is a cosmetic and functional treatment, helping to both improve the look of visible veins and reduce symptoms like aching, cramping, and swelling. The best part? It’s performed right in the office with minimal discomfort and virtually no downtime. Many patients even schedule the treatment over a lunch break.

How Sclerotherapy Works
The process begins with a careful evaluation of your vein health.
Our experienced providers may use visual inspection or ultrasound imaging to identify the target veins for treatment. A fine needle is then used to inject a medical-grade sclerosing agent directly into the vein. Depending on the size and location of the vein, your provider will choose the most appropriate solution. Once injected, the inner walls of the vein swell, stick together, and ultimately close off. Over the next several weeks, the treated vein breaks down and is absorbed by the body.
Patients typically experience little more than a slight pinch or mild burning sensation during the injections. Following treatment, compression stockings are usually recommended to enhance healing and improve results. Because the procedure doesn’t require anesthesia or significant recovery time, patients can return to their regular activities almost immediately.
Smoother skin, stronger circulation
What Sclerotherapy Does for You
Beyond the cosmetic improvements, sclerotherapy plays a meaningful role in overall vascular wellness.
For many patients, spider veins are not just a visual concern—they can signal poor vein function, discomfort, or even early venous insufficiency. By addressing the problem at its source, sclerotherapy not only enhances your appearance but also promotes better circulation and helps prevent further complications. It’s an empowering way to take control of your vein health and feel confident in your body again.
At Commonwealth Vein Center, we believe that investing in your wellness should be accessible, supportive, and tailored to you. Whether your goal is comfort, aesthetics, or both, sclerotherapy offers a gentle yet effective path to restoring leg health. If you’re tired of hiding your legs or living with daily discomfort, we’re here to help. Schedule your consultation today and step into a clearer, more confident future—one vein at a time.

Many patients start to see visible improvements within 3 to 6 weeks. Larger veins may take several months to fade fully. Multiple sessions may be recommended depending on the extent of the vein issues.
