Gradual fading of treated veins over weeks to months
Vein treatment at Allura Aesthetics + Wellness in Boca Raton primarily involves sclerotherapy, a safe and effective, minimally invasive procedure designed to reduce the appearance of spider veins and small varicose veins.
Whether you are bothered by the cosmetic appearance of these veins or experiencing discomfort, our experienced practitioners offer personalized treatments to help you achieve smoother, clearer skin and improved well-being.
During a sclerotherapy session at our comfortable Boca Raton location, a qualified specialist will carefully examine the affected veins. Using a very fine needle, a sclerosing solution is injected directly into the targeted spider or varicose veins. This solution irritates the lining of the blood vessel, causing it to collapse and seal shut. The blood flow is then redirected to healthier, nearby veins, and the treated vessel is gradually absorbed by the body and fades from view over time. The procedure typically takes 15 to 30 minutes, and multiple sessions may be required for optimal results, depending on the extent and size of the veins being treated.
At AlluraMD, we believe your aesthetic journey should be as enjoyable as it is transformative. We're not your typical sterile doctor's office. We've cultivated a playful, positive, and polished environment that feels more like a spa day with your friends than a medical appointment. Book online or call now (561) 264-7805
Sclerotherapy effectively treats:
Sclerotherapy is most commonly used to treat spider veins and small varicose veins on the legs. However, it can also be used to address these types of veins on other areas of the body, including the face, hands, and chest.
Most adults who are concerned about the appearance or symptoms of spider veins and small varicose veins, are in good general health, and are not pregnant or breastfeeding, are typically good candidates for sclerotherapy. A consultation with our vein specialists will determine if this treatment is right for you.
Sclerotherapy requires minimal recovery. You can stand up and walk around immediately after the procedure. Strenuous exercise should be avoided for 48 hours. Compression stockings may be recommended for a period after treatment to aid healing and prevent new veins from forming. Avoid prolonged sun exposure on the treated areas for at least two weeks.
Many patients start to see noticeable improvement in the appearance of treated veins within a few weeks of their sclerotherapy sessions. The treated veins are permanently eliminated and absorbed by the body. However, new spider veins or varicose veins can develop over time, and additional treatments may be necessary in the future.
The injections involve a very fine needle, and most patients experience only mild discomfort, similar to a pinprick.
The number of sessions depends on the number and size of the veins being treated, typically ranging from 1 to 4 sessions spaced several weeks apart.
The veins treated with sclerotherapy are destroyed and will not return. However, new spider veins can develop in other areas over time.
Common side effects are usually mild and temporary, including bruising, redness, and itching at the injection site.
Sclerotherapy is most effective for spider veins and small varicose veins. Larger varicose veins may require other treatment options.
You can typically resume normal activities immediately after sclerotherapy, although strenuous exercise should be avoided for a couple of days.
