Two reasons, really. Sclerotherapy may be done for cosmetic reasons, as it effectively improves the appearance of unsightly veins. It can also be performed to reduce symptoms involved with varicose veins, such as leg aching, cramping, burning or swelling.
Before your treatment, our specialists will thoroughly evaluate your vein condition and medical history. Depending on your medical history, we may recommend specific instructions for preparation. The day of the treatment, you should wear comfortable and loose clothing and we strongly advise you to not shave your legs 24 hours before treatment.
The treatment itself usually takes about an hour or less and is performed as an outpationt procedure. During treatment, you will lie comfortably on your back with your legs elevated. From there, we simply inject a special solution directly into the problem veins. As explained before, this solution will cause the vein to close and eventually disappear.
After resting for a few moments, you will be able to get up and walk around. We may recommend that you wear compression stockings for a few weeks. For most, people can go back to normal activities the same day or the day after treatment.

Let’s hear I am so, so grateful for everyone at this office! I have had the most incredible experience with my breast reduction thanks to Dr. Schneider, Lisa, Michele and the rest of this staff. I had trouble getting my surgery covered by other offices and I ended up getting it covered through this office. I felt very comfortable and confident in Dr. Schneider after having my consultation with her and am so beyond happy with the results of my surgery! I got my surgery a month ago and Lisa and the rest of the staff have been extremely available at all times for any questions or concerns I was having afterwards. I have recommended this office to many people. They are so amazing!
THE BEST PLASTIC SURGEON! Dr. Rowe and his staff are amazing, accommodating, caring and comforting. I had consultations with many surgeons for a breast reduction prior and none of them made me feel as confident and secure about the operation as Dr. Rowe did. He educated me on my options and made sure I was going to get what I ultimately wanted. Post surgery, the staff was always available if I had any concerns no matter what time it was and follow up appointments were very hospitable. Recommend Dr.Rowe and his staff both for his work and their hospitality. He did an amazing job!
