Eliminate Spider and Varicose Veins with Sclerotherapy

Visible veins on the legs can be more than just a cosmetic concern — they often bring discomfort, swelling, and self-consciousness. At Holcomb–Kreithen Plastic Surgery & MedSpa, we offer advanced sclerotherapy in Tampa to help you safely and effectively treat unwanted varicose and spider veins. Whether you're seeking relief or improved skin appearance, sclerotherapy can restore both comfort and confidence.

What Is Sclerotherapy?

Sclerotherapy is a minimally invasive procedure that treats varicose and spider veins by injecting a special solution directly into the affected veins. This solution irritates the vein walls, causing them to collapse and seal shut. Over time, the closed vein is absorbed by the body and fades from view.

This treatment is most commonly used on the legs and is a proven, effective option for both cosmetic and medical concerns.

Benefits of Sclerotherapy

Helps relieve leg fatigue, aching, or swelling

No general anesthesia required
Performed in-office with no downtime
Long-lasting improvement

What to Expect During Sclerotherapy in Tampa

Your procedure begins with a consultation to determine if you're a good candidate and to map out the veins to be treated. During the treatment itself:

You'll lie comfortably while the treatment area is cleansed
A very fine needle is used to inject the sclerosing agent into the affected veins
The entire session takes about 15 to 45 minutes, depending on how many veins are treated
Some mild stinging or discomfort is normal during the injection

After the injections, compression garments may be applied to help improve treatment effectiveness.

Recovery and Aftercare

There is no downtime, and you can resume normal activities the same day. Walking is encouraged to promote circulation, but a few activities should be avoided:

Avoid sun exposure on treated areas for two weeks
Refrain from high-impact exercise for a few days
No hot baths or saunas for 48 hours
Skip anti-inflammatory medications for 48 hours

Minor bruising, redness, or soreness may occur and should resolve within a few days.

Am I a Candidate for Sclerotherapy?

You may be a good candidate for sclerotherapy if you:

Have visible varicose or spider veins on your legs
Are in good general health
Are not currently pregnant or breastfeeding
Do not have a history of deep vein thrombosis
Are seeking a non-surgical solution with minimal downtime

During your Tampa consultation, our team will evaluate your veins and health history to ensure this treatment is appropriate for you.

When Will I See Results?

Treated veins typically do not return, though new veins may develop in the future
Smaller spider veins typically fade within 3 to 6 weeks
Larger varicose veins may take 3 to 4 months to disappear
Some patients may require multiple sessions for full clearance

Follow-up appointments help monitor your progress and determine if further treatment is needed.
