Many people feel self-conscious about visible veins on their legs, even when those veins cause no pain. At DFW Sports Medicine, we focus on helping you feel comfortable in your skin while prioritizing your health. Sclerotherapy is a popular, noninvasive treatment designed to improve the appearance of visible veins. It targets spider veins and small varicose veins that often appear on the legs. These veins may look blue, red, or purple, and they can sometimes feel achy or itchy. While they are common, they may cause discomfort or affect how someone feels about their appearance. This treatment is focused on creating smoother, clearer skin without surgery. It fits into a broader approach to body aesthetics, allowing patients to feel more comfortable and confident in how their legs look. Consultations for sclerotherapy are available at DFW Sports Medicine at either our McKinney or Frisco, TX location. Schedule yours today.

What should I expect from sclerotherapy?

Sclerotherapy at DFW Sports Medicine aligns your treatment plan with your goals from consultation to follow-up. The treatment itself is performed in-office and usually takes less than an hour. A special solution is injected into the targeted veins. This solution irritates the lining of the blood vessel, causing it to collapse and eventually fade. Over time, the body naturally absorbs the treated veins, leaving the skin looking clearer and more even. There is little to no downtime. Most people return to normal activity the same day with only mild soreness or bruising in some cases. Patients may need to wear compression stockings for a short time to help with healing.

What are the benefits of sclerotherapy?

Sclerotherapy is more than a cosmetic fix at DFW Sports Medicine; it’s a proven, medical approach to reducing the visibility of unwanted veins with little disruption to daily life. By gently fading visible veins, it supports both comfort and appearance, making it a strong choice for those seeking clearer, healthier-looking skin without surgery. Benefits of sclerotherapy include:

  • Visibly reduces or removes spider and small varicose veins
  • Improves overall skin appearance on the legs
  • Minimally invasive with no surgical scarring
  • Short treatment sessions with little to no downtime
  • Helps relieve minor vein-related discomfort or irritation
  • Enhances self-confidence through clearer, smoother skin
  • Can be customized to treat different vein sizes and areas

Am I a candidate for sclerotherapy?

Sclerotherapy is best for patients who are bothered by small or medium-sized blood vessels that can be seen through the skin of their body and face, making it a popular option for spider vein treatment, vein reduction therapy, and non-surgical vein removal. Usually, these spider veins are most visible on the lower legs and thighs, so patients avoid wearing swimsuits, shorts, or any other clothes that do not cover their spider veins, often seeking cosmetic vein treatment or leg vein treatment for improved confidence. Patients must be in good health the day of their treatment to prevent complications and support optimal vascular health and recovery. Patients shouldn’t be pregnant or have a history of blood clots, as these factors may impact candidacy for minimally invasive vein procedures. Sclerotherapy is best suited for smaller surface veins; larger varicose veins caused by underlying venous reflux may require endovenous radiofrequency ablation (RFA) or VenaSeal™ treatment first.

Frequently Asked Questions

The price of sclerotherapy will change according to the quantity of veins treated, the scope of the veins, and other elements. At your first consultation, a team member will listen to your concerns and objectives before forming your custom sclerotherapy treatment strategy. Afterward, we can calculate the price and talk about your payment options.
Sclerotherapy injects a special solution into the vein to make it become smaller and vanish. Laser vein treatments are nonsurgical as light beams are sent to the vein so it collapses and gets processed by the body. This treatment is usually better for medium to bigger spider veins and varicose veins (greater than three millimeters), while laser vein treatments are advised for tinier vessels, typically ones in the facial region.
Asclera is a brand of sclerosing solution authorized by the Food and Drug Administration to treat spider veins and small varicose veins. Asclera is developed with polidocanol instead of sodium tetradecyl sulfate, which is in most sclerosing solutions. Throughout your appointment, we can discuss the advantages of Asclera and alternate brands of sclerosing agents including which is best for your needs.

Sclerotherapy is designed for smaller spider veins and surface-level varicose veins. It does not treat the underlying venous reflux that causes larger, bulging varicose veins. For that, we recommend evaluation for endovenous radiofrequency ablation (RFA) or VenaSeal™, which close the main refluxing vein. Learn more on our varicose veins page.
