What Is Sclerotherapy?
Spider veins, also called telangiectasia, may be caused by hormonal changes, obesity, genetics, medications, blood clots, and medical conditions. These veins are usually purple, blue, or red and may be easily seen through the skin while they keep branching out on the face and legs. Our board-certified vascular surgeons at VCI Med Spa perform sclerotherapy to minimize or remove visible spider veins on the body or face. Our vascular specialists use Asclera® injections for sclerotherapy, which is a minimally invasive treatment with no required recovery period that can give you an even skin tone so you won't have to cover up anymore. Laser vein removal is also another noninvasive option that we offer to decrease the appearance of blood vessels on the body and face. Schedule an appointment at VCI Med Spa in Tinley Park, IL to learn more about nonsurgical sclerotherapy, as well as other skin treatments.
What Can I Expect From Sclerotherapy?
Once sclerotherapy injections are complete, you can leave to resume your normal routine. You may see some swelling, redness, or bruising in the treated areas, but this will typically fade on its own. Compression garments may be suggested to encourage blood circulation after your treatment for better, faster results. It may take some time for the sclerosing solution to work, but eventually, the treated spider veins should get smaller, change to a white color, and then fade or disappear.
A laser vein treatment is another effective method that will target only the affected veins and not hurt the surrounding skin. Once the vein has collapsed, it takes about 4 – 6 weeks for the vein to be flushed out of your system and vanish. Unwanted spider veins may be situated on your facial area, legs, back of the legs, and around the ankles. Anywhere a spider vein exists, laser vein removal can be a helpful treatment option. Our cutting-edge laser uses precision as it targets the selected vein so the tissue and skin around the veins are untouched.

Wonderful service and staff! Maria helped eliminate the appearance of veins on my legs using sclerotherapy and I am very happy with my results.
I highly recommend Maria at VCI for your sclerotherapy needs. I had a cluster of spider veins on the side and back of my left knee and the area looks so good! I feel comfortable wearing shorts and dresses again. Maria is awesome. She made me feel comfortable during the procedure and followed up to make sure everything was healing well.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much is sclerotherapy?
The price of sclerotherapy will differ according to the number of veins treated, the scope of the veins, and other elements. During your private appointment, Dr. Tanquilut will listen to your worries and objectives before developing your personal sclerotherapy treatment program. From there, he can estimate the price and discuss your payment options.
Can I get sclerotherapy on my face and hands?
Sclerotherapy may enhance the appearance of spider veins, vascular malformations, broken veins, and varicose veins on your hands and face. During your initial appointment, Dr. Tanquilut will inspect your troublesome areas and determine whether sclerotherapy can be utilized to target the vein safely. If he feels that sclerotherapy would not be a reliable or safe choice, he will discuss other available options.
How long should I wear compression garments after sclerotherapy?
Dr. Tanquilut or a member of his team will tell you how long you should wear compression stockings following sclerotherapy. The stockings promote blood flow so the vein stays sealed and diminishes bruising. Generally, you should continue wearing the compression garment following your recovery whenever you are sitting for a long time, such as on long car rides or airplanes.
