Sclerotherapy in Orlando, FL | Vado Plastic Surgery

Sclerotherapy is a treatment that effectively reduces the size of blood vessels and eliminates spider veins (very small varicose veins ≤ 1 mm in diameter) as well as uncomplicated reticular veins (1 to 3 mm in diameter) on the legs. The beauty of this procedure lies in its non-surgical nature, as it entails only injections. This makes it an appealing choice for those seeking to address spider veins and reticular veins without the need for more invasive surgical interventions. Our Orlando Sclerotherapy treatment is used both as an aesthetic treatment and a medical treatment for some issues involving veins and blood vessels.

How Does Sclerotherapy Work?

Sclerotherapy uses a solution called a sclerosant (Asclera), which is carefully injected directly into a vein or lymph vessel. The solution works by damaging the cells lining the inside of blood vessels. As a result, blood platelets and cellular debris stick to the vessel's lining, eventually leading to the formation of a clot in the blood vessel. As time goes on, the clotted vein is naturally replaced with tissue, effectively getting rid of those pesky spider veins.

How Long Does Sclerotherapy Last?

Although sclerotherapy has a great success rate, there are no guarantees that it will work for all patients. Typically, spider veins respond to sclerotherapy within three to six weeks, while larger veins may take around three to four months to respond. If the spider veins successfully respond to the treatment, that specific vein will not reappear! However, it's important to understand that this doesn't prevent new veins from appearing at a similar rate as before.

Ideal Candidates

Who Is A Good Candidate For Sclerotherapy?

Most men and women dealing with spider veins or small varicose veins are typically good candidates for injection sclerotherapy treatment. However, it's important to note that individuals with certain blood conditions, vascular ailments, or those taking specific medications may not be considered good candidates. It's crucial to have a discussion about your current medical conditions and medications with your specialist before considering any vein procedure. Additionally, it's generally not advisable for pregnant women to undergo this or other vein sclerosing treatments. Please be aware that Asclera should not be used in patients who have known allergies to polidocanol (lauromacrogol 400) or any of the other ingredients found in Asclera. If you'd like to find out if you'd make a good candidate for sclerotherapy Orlando injection specialists at Vado Plastic Surgery can address that and any other questions during your initial consultation.

Does Sclerotherapy Hurt?

Since this procedure involves an injection, it's possible that some patients may feel mild discomfort or a slight burning sensation during and after the solution is injected. However, for the majority of patients, the procedure is generally tolerable.

How Many Sessions Will I Need?

In many cases, individuals may require a follow-up session to fully address the vein concern. If there are multiple varicose veins present, it's often necessary to undergo several treatments to effectively reduce or minimize the appearance of all of them.
