The Best Treatment For Spider Veins & Varicose Veins Although spider veins are generally a cosmetic-issue, in some cases, they can still be an indication of an underlying problem that may need treatment. Whether it’s for cosmetic or health needs, the surgeons at Central Florida Vein and Vascular Center may recommend spider vein sclerotherapy for the treatment of the affected veins. Here’s what to expect from this procedure conveniently completed at any of our three offices: Ocoee, Kissimmee, or The Villages.

Sclerotherapy is the oldest and most common form of treatment for spider veins. This form of therapy has been effective in lessening the appearance of spider veins and allowing patients to feel confident in their legs post-treatment.
During sclerotherapy, a specialist injects a sclerosing agent into the affected vein. When the agent comes into contact with the veins, it irritates the vein vessels which causes them to scar and become less visible. Spider vein sclerotherapy does not remove the vein itself—it diminishes the vein’s appearance. Following the procedure, you will have healthier appearing veins.
All of our procedures are minimally invasive—meaning you’ll find no painful vein stripping here. If the thought of treatment recovery time or costs is keeping you away from the vein care you deserve, don’t worry. Vein care is more affordable than you might think. Most insurance companies cover an initial consultation, so you can gain a full understanding of your current venous health. You’ll be happy to hear that treatment itself is sometimes covered by insurance as well.
Central Florida Vein & Vascular Center offers high-level care and high-level comfort. From the second you walk into our practice, we care about what is best for you. We discuss all treatment options, ranging from homeopathic treatment, to compression stockings, or possible minimally invasive procedures. We’ll explain how other hormonal changes, such as pregnancy, can be affecting your venous health. For those looking for additional knowledge before they visit our clinic, we offer ongoing educational material through our blog. Throughout every step of the process, you’ll have an understanding of your venous care and what we believe is your best option moving forward.

Generally, our patients don’t experience pain during their sclerotherapy treatment. All you’ll feel is a needle pinch. In some cases, you may have mild cramping near the injection site, especially for larger veins.
You may also experience mild discomfort or side effects afterward like bruising, headaches, skin discoloration or tenderness.
Sclerotherapy results are permanent. Once your varicose or spider veins collapse and are reabsorbed by your body, they will not come back.
However, it is important to remember other veins can develop over time. Once you have had troublesome veins, you are more likely over time to develop a recurrence. Recurrences usually only require a small amount of treatment.
There are a few potential side effects of sclerotherapy including allergic reactions, hyperpigmentation, injection site pain, blood clots, inflammation, and air bubbles.
Your doctor should provide you with a list of items you should avoid before and after sclerotherapy. However, some of the common items to avoid both 48 hours before treatment and 48 hours after treatment include over the counter anti-inflammatory drugs, antibiotics, and lotion.
