What Is Sclerotherapy?

Sclerotherapy is a minimally invasive injection procedure used to treat:

  • Spider veins (tiny red or blue vessels near the skin’s surface)

  • Reticular veins (blue or green feeder veins beneath the skin)

  • Small varicose veins (1–3 mm in diameter)

A prescription solution such as Asclera® (polidocanol) is injected directly into the affected vein. This causes the vein to collapse and scar, rerouting blood to healthier nearby vessels. Over time, the treated vein is absorbed by the body and fades from view.

Key Benefits of Laser Vein Removal:

  • Quick, in-office treatment

  • No general anesthesia required

  • Effective for small and moderate-sized veins

  • Minimal downtime

What Is Laser Vein Removal Treatment?

We use the 1064 nm Nd:YAG laser, the gold standard for non-invasive vein treatment, particularly for leg veins. The laser delivers targeted energy to heat and seal the blood vessels without damaging surrounding tissue. No needles, no incisions.

Ideal for:

  • Spider veins on the face or legs

  • Patients who prefer a no-injection approach

  • Hard-to-reach or resistant veins

Why Dr. Rubbani Recommends a Combination Approach

In many cases, combining sclerotherapy with laser therapy provides the most complete and lasting results. The laser can target surface-level vessels while sclerotherapy treats feeder veins underneath—maximizing clearance and minimizing recurrence.

Common Types of Veins We Treat

Spider Veins

Thin, red or blue veins near the surface of the skin, often appearing like webbing or branches.

Reticular Veins

Blue or green veins beneath the surface, often feeding into spider veins.

Small Varicose Veins

Protruding, twisted veins (1–3 mm) that may cause discomfort or cosmetic concern.

What Causes Spider & Reticular Veins?

Several factors contribute to unwanted veins:

  • Genetics / heredity

  • Aging and weakened vein valves

  • Hormonal changes (e.g., pregnancy, menopause, birth control)

  • Weight gain

  • Prolonged sitting or standing

  • Prior vein trauma

Women are 2–3x more likely to develop visible veins, and pregnancy can temporarily worsen their appearance.

What to Expect from Laser Vein Removal Treatment

  • Sessions take 15–30 minutes

  • No anesthesia required for most laser treatments

  • Mild redness or bruising may follow the procedure

  • Multiple sessions (2–3) may be needed for optimal results

  • Veins fade gradually over 2–6 weeks

FAQ About Sclerotherapy / Laser Vein Removal

Both treatments are effective, but laser therapy is typically preferred for facial spider veins, while sclerotherapy is ideal for legs. Dr. Rubbani often recommends combining both for comprehensive results.

There is little to no downtime. You can resume most normal activities immediately, but you should avoid heavy exercise and hot baths for 24–48 hours.

Treated veins usually fade permanently, but new veins may develop over time. Periodic maintenance treatments can help keep your legs and face vein-free.
