Understanding Sclerotherapy

Sclerotherapy is a minimally invasive vein treatment designed to eliminate small varicose veins and spider veins. It works by injecting a solution directly into the affected veins, causing them to collapse and eventually be reabsorbed by the body. This treatment is often recommended for cosmetic improvement, but it also addresses symptoms like aching, swelling, and cramping in the legs.

Rejuvenation Dermatology in Edmonton offers sclerotherapy using proven medical techniques under the care of experienced dermatology professionals. It's a safe and effective choice for patients who want to restore both comfort and confidence. 

The Sclerotherapy Procedure Explained

Initial Consultation and Assessment

Your first step involves a thorough evaluation at Rejuvenation Dermatology. We assess your medical history, examine your veins, and determine if sclerotherapy is the right treatment. This ensures your care plan is safe, tailored, and effective.

During the Treatment

Sclerotherapy sessions are typically quick, lasting about 30–60 minutes depending on the number of veins treated. The procedure involves:

  • Cleaning the treatment area
  • Injecting a sclerosant solution with a fine needle
  • Gentle compression of the treated veins
  • No anesthesia is required, and discomfort is minimal

The injected solution irritates the vein lining, causing it to close and eventually fade from view.

Post-Treatment: What to Expect

After your session, you may be asked to wear compression stockings and walk to encourage healthy circulation. It's normal to experience slight bruising or redness around the injection sites. Most patients return to normal activity immediately after sclerotherapy treatment.

Sclerotherapy Results and Recovery

You’ll start seeing improvement in a few weeks, with full results developing over several months. Depending on the severity of your veins, multiple sessions may be recommended. At Rejuvenation Dermatology, we provide follow-up care and additional treatment planning as needed.
