Sclerotherapy
Sclerotherapy
Sclerotherapy is a treatment for superficial spider veins and reticular veins. It is a highly effective therapy that involves the injection of small amounts of a medication through a tiny needle. The medication causes irritation within the small vessels, causing them to collapse and be reabsorbed by the body, reducing the appearance of these dilated surface veins while preserving blood flow in healthy veins.
Our patients get the best results from a series of treatment sessions and some maintenance over time to mitigate new veins that appear with aging.

How Sclerotherapy Works
Sclerotherapy is a minimally invasive procedure that targets unsightly veins, such as spider veins.
During the treatment, our highly trained professionals at Arsenault Aesthetics inject a sclerosing solution directly into the problematic veins. This solution irritates the vein walls, causing them to collapse and eventually be reabsorbed by the body. As a result, blood flow is redirected to healthier veins, ultimately improving circulation and appearance.
Sclerotherapy is a safe and effective way to restore your skin’s natural beauty and reduce the appearance of unsightly veins.
What to Expect
Your sclerotherapy appointment at Arsenault Aesthetics begins with a thorough consultation to discuss your concerns and goals. Our specialist will examine the areas you wish to treat, assess the severity of your vein issues, and determine if sclerotherapy is the best course of action for you.
Once a personalized treatment plan is developed, you will be positioned comfortably for the procedure. Our specialist will use a fine needle to inject the sclerosing solution into the targeted veins. You may experience some mild discomfort during the injections, but the process is relatively quick.
After the treatment, you may be asked to wear compression stockings to support the healing process and optimize results. Your specialist will provide detailed post-treatment instructions

Treatment Types
Sclerotherapy can be used to treat facial veins, which are small, visible veins that appear on the face, particularly around the nose and cheeks. By targeting these veins with sclerotherapy, patients can enjoy a clearer complexion. Additionally, facial veins can also be treated with a Vbeam or Pulse-Dye Laser. We recommend consulting your specialist at Arsenault Aesthetics to see what treatment option would be best for you.
Prominent hand veins can be a sign of aging or an inherited trait. Depending on the type of vein, sclerotherapy may be used to treat these veins, helping to restore a more youthful and smoother appearance to the hands. Filler for the hands can also be used to improve the appearance of the hands and decrease the visibility of veins and tendons, resulting in a rejuvenated younger looking hand.
Sclerotherapy is often utilized to treat leg veins, which can be a source of discomfort and cosmetic concern for many patients. By targeting and eliminating these veins, patients can achieve smoother, more evenly-toned legs.
Sclerotherapy can be used to treat veins on the ankles and feet, which can be a source of discomfort and cosmetic concern for some patients. By targeting these veins, patients can experience improved comfort and appearance.
