How Does Sclerotherapy Work?
Sclerotherapy is an effective, minimally invasive procedure for the treatment of spider veins and varicose veins.
It uses a liquid called a sclerosant that causes the walls of the unhealthy veins to collapse, sealing them off for good.
Ultrasound-guided sclerotherapy is essentially the same procedure as regular sclerotherapy, but with ultrasound imaging to help identify and accurately treat the veins. Your provider will simply inject the sclerosant into the vein, whether guided by eye or ultrasound, so the vein can dissolve and redirect blood into healthier veins.
Sclerotherapy Vein Treatment FAQs
Whether or not your insurance will cover sclerotherapy in Venice will depend on a few different factors. You’ll want to check with your insurance plan for more information on coverage. If insurance doesn’t cover treatment, sclerotherapy costs $300 per visit.
While there is minimal downtime after treatment, the veins appear darker than normal for a week or so, and you may experience minor bruising, swelling, and sensitivity for a few weeks. After treatment, your skin is more sensitive to the sun, so we recommend avoiding exposure for a couple of weeks. In most cases, after 6 to 8 weeks, the treated varicose veins disappear.
