  2. The Power of Sclerotherapy: A Trusted Solution for Spider Veins
Summary

Spider veins might seem like a surface-level issue, but they often leave a deeper impact on your skin's comfort, circulation, and confidence. Fortunately, sclerotherapy offers a reliable, minimally invasive way to reduce and eliminate these tiny visible veins. At Rejuvenation Dermatology in South Edmonton, we use advanced sclerotherapy techniques to treat spider veins effectively and safely. This treatment works by collapsing the affected vessels, allowing your body to naturally absorb them over time. For most patients, it’s a quick, low-risk procedure with excellent cosmetic and comfort results. Not everyone is a candidate, but our experts can determine if sclerotherapy is right for you.

Why Sclerotherapy Remains the Gold Standard in Spider Vein Treatment

Sclerotherapy has been used for decades, not because it’s outdated, but because it continues to outperform alternatives for most spider vein cases. The technology has evolved to use gentler solutions, finer needles, and more targeted delivery. For patients struggling with red, blue, or purple veins across their legs or face, sclerotherapy offers a proven blend of precision, speed, and results, with minimal disruption to your life.  

How Sclerotherapy Works

Sclerotherapy involves injecting a specialized solution into the problem vein:

  • The solution irritates the vein’s lining
  • The vein collapses and seals shut
  • Over time, the body absorbs the collapsed vein and reroutes blood flow

The treatment typically takes 20–30 minutes per session, requires no anesthesia, and allows most people to return to normal activity right away. While multiple sessions may be needed for larger clusters, the results are often long-lasting.

Why Choose Sclerotherapy for Spider Veins?

  • Highly effective – Especially for small to medium spider veins
  • Minimally invasive – No surgery, incisions, or significant downtime
  • Proven track record – Backed by decades of success and refinement
  • Customizable – Suitable for a wide range of skin tones and vein locations

At Rejuvenation Dermatology, our skilled providers use advanced techniques to deliver precise, comfortable treatments that restore clearer skin and improved circulation.

When Sclerotherapy Might Not Be Ideal

While sclerotherapy is the top choice for many, it’s not right for everyone. You may not be a candidate if:

  • You’re currently pregnant or breastfeeding
  • You have a history of deep vein thrombosis (DVT)
  • The veins in question are too large or located too deep
  • You have a skin infection at the injection site

During your consultation, our dermatology team will evaluate your veins and overall health to determine whether sclerotherapy is your best option.

Technology and Technique Matter

Not all sclerotherapy treatments are equal. At Rejuvenation Dermatology, we use:

  • Ultrasound guidance for precise targeting
  • Modern sclerosants that reduce side effects
  • Fine-gauge needles for comfort and minimal skin trauma

We also provide clear aftercare instructions to help you get the best results with as little downtime as possible.
