Sclerotherapy
As we age, it becomes more and more likely that we’ll experience telangiectasis, also known as spider veins.

Results
Sclerotherapy is a relatively simple, pain-free treatment. Depending on the desired results and unique veins, the treatment can take up to 15-60 minutes. Every patient’s treatment and results vary. Typically, treatments on the legs take longer than a facial treatment. We recommend patients coming back for 3-5 treatment sessions to obtain optimal results. It depends on your unique procedure, but sometimes patients will have to apply a compress to relieve the veins.
How does Sclerotherapy work?
A treatment overview.
Sclerotherapy in Wilmette Northshore, IL is a treatment that eliminates the appearance of veins and any irritations they may cause. The treatment involves injecting a safe chemical compound into strategically chosen blood vessels. This FDA approved chemical compound is composed of Sotradecol, saline, and oxygen to ignite a bubbling reaction within the veins. Once this compound is in the vein, the vein deflates, becomes waste tissue, and is absorbed by the body. Essentially, the injection causes the veins to collapse and in turn transforms the veins into waste tissue to diminish the appearance and irritation.
Sclerotherapy in Wilmette, IL is an efficient and effective treatment for removing undesired spider veins. Each process is administered with expert care and precision. Prior to the treatment, an experienced Sclerotherapy will walk you through the treatment process to ensure safety and comfortability. We suggest receiving at least 2-5 treatments to guarantee substantial, remarkable results.
