Sclerotherapy spider vein treatment at Desert Med Rejuvenation in Rancho Mirage.

Sclerotherapy

A safe, effective treatment to reduce the appearance of spider veins and small varicose veins — for smoother, clearer-looking legs with little to no downtime.

What is Sclerotherapy?

Sclerotherapy is a non-surgical treatment that involves injecting a specialized solution directly into unwanted veins. The solution causes the vein walls to collapse and seal shut, redirecting blood flow to healthier veins nearby. Over time, the treated veins are naturally absorbed by the body and gradually fade from view, resulting in clearer, more even-toned skin. Sclerotherapy has been used for decades and remains one of the most trusted treatments for spider veins and smaller varicose veins.

Benefits:

  • Reduces the appearance of spider veins
  • Treats small varicose veins
  • Improves the appearance of the legs
  • Minimally invasive treatment
  • Quick in-office procedure
  • Little to no downtime
  • No surgery required

What Conditions Can
Sclerotherapy Treat?

  • Spider Veins:

    Sclerotherapy is considered the gold-standard treatment for spider veins, helping to diminish the red, blue and purple veins commonly found on the legs.

  • Small Varicose Veins:

    The treatment can effectively target smaller varicose veins that may be visible beneath the skin’s surface.

  • Reticular Veins:

    Often referred to as feeder veins, reticular veins can also be addressed to improve overall cosmetic results.

Common Treatment Areas

Sclerotherapy is most frequently performed on:

  • Thighs, Calves and Ankles
  • Behind the Knees
  • Lower Legs
  • Other areas affected by visible spider veins

What Causes Spider Veins?

Spider veins can develop for a variety of reasons, including:

  • Aging and Genetics
  • Pregnancy and Hormonal Changes
  • Prolonged Standing or Sitting
  • Sun Exposure and Weight Fluctuations
  • Reduced Circulation

While often considered a cosmetic concern, visible veins can sometimes be associated with underlying venous insufficiency and should be evaluated by a qualified provider.
