Sclerotherapy.
Sclerotherapy is the gold standard treatment for spider veins and small varicose veins on the legs. At Modern Dermatology, we inject a specialized solution that collapses unwanted vessels, restoring clear, even-toned skin.
Collapse & Clear.
A sclerosing solution is injected directly into the unwanted vein using an ultra-fine needle. The solution irritates the vessel lining, causing it to collapse, seal shut, and be reabsorbed by the body over the following weeks. The overlying skin clears as blood is rerouted through healthy veins.
Spider Veins
Fine red, blue, or purple veins visible on the surface of the skin, most commonly on the legs and ankles.
Reticular Veins
Slightly larger blue-green veins that often "feed" clusters of spider veins. Treating these prevents recurrence.
Small Varicose Veins
Early-stage varicose veins that are not yet large enough for surgical intervention but cause cosmetic concern.

Frequently Asked.
How many sclerotherapy sessions do I need?
Most patients require 2 to 4 sessions spaced 4-6 weeks apart for optimal clearance.
Does sclerotherapy hurt?
The injections use ultra-fine needles and most patients describe only a mild stinging sensation. No anesthesia is required.
What is the downtime?
You can return to normal activity immediately. We recommend wearing compression stockings for 1-2 weeks and avoiding intense exercise for 48 hours.
When will I see results?
Spider veins typically fade within 3 to 6 weeks. Larger veins may take 3-4 months to fully resolve.
