Sclerotherapy
At Ontario Vascular, we offer sclerotherapy as one of the most effective and widely used treatments for spider veins and small varicose veins. This minimally invasive procedure improves both the appearance of your legs and circulatory health, with little to no downtime.
What Is Sclerotherapy?
Sclerotherapy involves injecting a safe, medical-grade solution (called a sclerosant) directly into the affected vein.
The solution causes the vein walls to collapse and seal shut. Over time, the treated vein is naturally reabsorbed by the body, and blood is rerouted to healthier veins.
Sclerotherapy is especially effective for:
-
Spider veins (tiny, web-like veins close to the skin surface)
-
Reticular veins (slightly larger blue or green veins)
-
Small varicose veins
-
Veins that reappear after previous treatment
What to Expect from the Procedure
-
Quick in-office treatment (15–30 minutes)
-
Minimal discomfort—most patients feel only a mild pinch
-
No anesthesia or incisions needed
-
You can walk and resume normal activities immediately
-
Compression stockings may be recommended for faster healing
