Frequently Asked Questions About Sclerotherapy

June 18, 2018 by Lauren Trevino

Do you have visible leg veins that you would like to get rid of? You may want to consider sclerotherapy at The Institute of Aesthetic Surgery in Celebration, FL. Those who suffer from spider veins often feel embarrassed and self-conscious about the appearance of these veins, but by having sclerotherapy, you can eliminate this problem.

What You Should Know

If you are considering having this procedure, it is important to learn more about it. You can do this by speaking to experts with specialist knowledge of sclerotherapy as well as by looking at some commonly asked questions about the procedure such as:

What Causes Spider Veins?

Spider veins are often experienced by women who are aged between around 30 and 50. They can be caused by factors such as hormones as well as pregnancy, and they appear in the form of a circular network of tiny veins, which is where they get their name. They are a light shade of purple and quite distinctive and noticeable.

Are These Veins Harmful?

While spider veins are not harmful, they can cause a lot of embarrassment to those that suffer from them. Because they are so distinctive and noticeable, many are embarrassed about wearing certain clothes because the spider veins are left exposed. By having sclerotherapy, you can eliminate or reduce the appearance of these veins, which will help to boost your self-confidence levels.

Is Anesthetic Required For This Procedure?

Some people are keen to know whether you have to go under in order to have this procedure carried out. Well, in most cases there is no form of anesthetic required, and the procedure is carried out at the doctor’s office. The pain and discomfort associated with this procedure are minimal, which is why it is not normally deemed necessary to have any anesthetic.

How Many Sessions Do You Need?

Another thing that many people want to know is how many sessions they will have to go through in order to see a difference. This can actually vary from one person to another, but in general, you will usually need to attend between two and four sessions of sclerotherapy. It can depend on a variety of factors such as the number of veins that require treatment, how large the veins are, and the severity of the problem.

Is There A Recovery Period?

When you have this procedure, there is no recovery period as such. In fact, walking is actually recommended after you have had the treatment. However, when it comes to strenuous activity and sports, you should try to leave it for several days following the treatment. Other than that, you can carry on with your life as normal.
