One of our providers uses a fine needling to inject a sclerosing solution into the affected vein. The solution irritates the vein lining, causing it to close. Over the next several weeks, your body naturally absorbs the treated vein.

Sclerotherapy
Clear Skin, Renewed Confidence
Healthy, Vein-Free Legs
Clear unwanted veins without surgery. Sclerotherapy is a minimally invasive treatment that uses specialized injections to reduce the appearance of spider veins and small varicose veins.
Over time, the treated veins fade, leaving your skin looking clearer and more even-toned.

Where Confidence Begins
Take the first step toward feeling more like you—refreshed, radiant, and confident in your skin.
We recommend sclerotherapy for patients who have visible spider veins or small varicose veins and want smoother, more even-toned skin. Your provider will assess your concerns during your consultation to confirm this is the right option for you.
Yes. Sclerotherapy has been used safely for decades. At DeeTox, our providers use FDA-approved solutions and precise techniques to ensure effective, safe results.
No, sclerotherapy shouldn’t hurt. Most patients describe a mild pinching or stinging sensation during injections, but it is brief and tolerable. We use fine needles and precise techniques to keep you comfortable throughout the treatment.
We recommend that you avoid taking NSAIDs, and consuming alcohol for 48 hours before your appointment. You should also avoid shaving or applying lotion to your legs, and wear comfortable, loose-fitting clothing.
The number of sessions depends on the size, number, and location of your veins. Many clients need 2 to 6 sessions spaced several weeks apart for optimal results.
No, you won’t need to take any downtime. You can walk immediately after treatment, but we may recommend wearing compression stockings for a few days to support healing and improve results. We may also recommend you avoid strenuous exercise, saunas, and hot baths for 48 hours.
You may experience mild redness, swelling, or bruising at the injection site. These side effects usually resolve within a few days to weeks.
Treated veins will not return because the body absorbs them. However, new veins can appear over time due to genetics, lifestyle, or prolonged standing. Maintenance treatments can help keep your legs looking smooth.
Compression stockings support blood flow, help the treated veins collapse, and minimize swelling or bruising. Wearing them as directed helps maximize your results.
