Say Goodbye to Spider Veins: Everything You Need to Know About Sclerotherapy in King City & Bolton
If you’ve noticed small, web-like veins appearing on your legs or ankles, you’re not alone. These visible veins—known as spider veins—are a common cosmetic concern for many adults. While they’re usually harmless, they can affect your confidence, especially during the warmer months when bare legs make a comeback.
At LaserMed, proudly serving King City and Bolton, one of the most effective and time-tested treatments we offer for spider veins is sclerotherapy—a simple, minimally invasive procedure with long-lasting results.
What Is Sclerotherapy?
Sclerotherapy is a non-surgical medical procedure used to treat spider veins and small varicose veins. During the treatment, a specialized solution (called a sclerosant) is injected directly into the affected veins. This solution irritates the vein walls, causing them to collapse and seal shut.
Over time, your body naturally absorbs the treated vein, and blood flow is rerouted through healthier veins, resulting in smoother, clearer skin.
Who Is a Good Candidate for Sclerotherapy?
You may be a great candidate if you:
-
Have visible spider or small varicose veins on your legs or ankles
-
Experience mild aching, burning, or itching around the veins
-
Are looking for a non-surgical, quick, and effective solution
-
Are not pregnant or breastfeeding
During your consultation at LaserMed, our licensed medical professionals in King City and Bolton will assess your vein health and determine whether sclerotherapy or another treatment—such as laser vein therapy—is best for your needs.
What to Expect During Treatment
A typical session lasts 30 to 45 minutes, depending on the number of veins treated. Here’s what the process looks like:
-
The treatment area is cleaned and prepped.
-
Using a fine needle, the provider injects the sclerosant into the targeted veins.
-
You may feel a mild tingling or burning sensation, but most clients find the treatment comfortable.
-
Compression stockings may be applied afterward to support healing and improve results.
You can return to most of your daily activities immediately after the session, though strenuous exercise and sun exposure should be avoided for a few days.
Results and Recovery
Treated veins typically fade within 3–6 weeks, though larger veins may take a few months to fully disappear. Multiple sessions may be recommended for optimal results.
With proper care, the results can last years, especially if you maintain a healthy lifestyle and wear compression stockings as advised.
