In this article, we’ll explain how sclerotherapy treatment works, its benefits, and why Kay Dermatology is Burbank’s trusted destination for advanced vein treatment and care.
What Are the Benefits of Sclerotherapy?
When performed by a qualified specialist, sclerotherapy delivers both cosmetic improvement and symptom relief. Benefits include:
- Spider Vein Removal: Reduces the appearance of red, blue, or purple thread-like veins on the legs and face
- Varicose Vein Treatment: Improves the look and feel of small to medium varicose veins without surgery
- Minimally Invasive Procedure: No anesthesia, stitches, or long recovery
- Improved Circulation: Redirects blood flow by closing off non-functioning veins
- Fast and Convenient: Treatments typically take 30 minutes or less
- Boosted Confidence: Enjoy smoother-looking skin and the freedom to wear what you want
Whether you’re interested in aesthetic improvement or medical symptom relief, sclerotherapy is a proven solution with long-lasting results.
What Happens During a Sclerotherapy Treatment?
At Kay Dermatology, we tailor each sclerotherapy treatment to your specific needs. Here’s what to expect:
- Consultation and Evaluation: We assess your veins and create a customized vein treatment plan
- Injection Session: An injection of a special solution is performed with a fine needle
- Vein Reaction: The solution irritates the vein walls, causing them to collapse and be reabsorbed by the body
- Post-Treatment Care: You may be asked to wear compression stockings and walk daily to support circulation
- Gradual Results: Veins fade over several weeks; full results may take a few months
Ask to see sclerotherapy before and after photos during your consultation to visualize your potential outcome.
Is Sclerotherapy Right for You?
You may be a strong candidate for sclerotherapy if you:
- Have small to medium varicose veins or visible spider veins
- Are looking for a non-surgical, proven vein treatment
- Experience swelling, heaviness, or itching in the legs from problematic veins
- Want cosmetic improvements and smoother, clearer skin
- Are in good health and have realistic expectations
This treatment is not designed for large, deeply rooted veins but is ideal for cosmetic correction and early-stage varicose vein treatment.
