What to Expect Before and After Sclerotherapy
Sclerotherapy is a minimally invasive treatment used to treat varicose and spider veins by injecting a solution that causes the veins to shrink and fade. The procedure is quick and usually involves minimal discomfort without downtime. Afterward, you may experience mild bruising or swelling, which typically disappears within a few days. If you’re seeking an effective solution for vein problems, visit Eugene J. LIU, M.D., at Aspire Medical Aesthetics. For more information, contact us or schedule an appointment online.

At Aspire Medical Aesthetics, we are dedicated to providing our clients with the highest standard of care, particularly regarding procedures like sclerotherapy. This treatment is an effective solution for addressing varicose and spider veins, and proper preparation can significantly enhance its success and minimize potential complications.
Before your sclerotherapy appointment, we recommend scheduling a consultation with our experienced healthcare providers. During this meeting, we’ll discuss your medical history, including any allergies or medications you may be taking.
On the day of your appointment, avoid applying lotions, oils, or creams to your legs, as these can interfere with the treatment process. We also suggest wearing loose and comfortable clothing to ensure easy access to the treatment area. Bringing a pair of compression stockings is advisable, as they are often recommended post-procedure to aid in reducing swelling and promoting healthy circulation.
Following your sclerotherapy session, you’ll receive personalized post-procedure instructions from our Aspire Medical Aesthetics team. These guidelines are crucial for optimizing your results and ensuring a smooth recovery. Typically, wearing compression stockings as directed will support the healing of the treated veins. We encourage you to walk regularly to maintain healthy blood flow while avoiding strenuous activities, heavy lifting, and prolonged standing or sitting for the initial days after treatment.
To further enhance your recovery, elevate your legs when resting and avoid direct sunlight or heat exposure, such as saunas or hot baths, for a couple of weeks. Some bruising or redness is normal, but if you notice any signs of infection, like increased swelling or warmth, or if you develop a fever, please contact us immediately. Follow-up appointments may be scheduled to monitor your progress.
At Aspire Medical Aesthetics, we are committed to supporting you every step of the way. By adhering to these guidelines, you can help ensure a successful sclerotherapy experience and enjoy improved vein health.
Sclerotherapy is a highly effective treatment for addressing common venous issues such as varicose veins and spider veins. These conditions not only cause discomfort but can also be a source of aesthetic concern for many individuals.
Varicose veins are larger, swollen veins that typically appear on the legs, while spider veins are smaller and often visible as red, blue, or purple lines closer to the skin’s surface. Through sclerotherapy, our skilled practitioners inject a sclerosing solution into these problematic veins, to collapse and gradually remove, restoring a smoother and more even appearance to your skin.
In addition to its cosmetic benefits, sclerotherapy can also be utilized for medical purposes, such as managing hemorrhoids and vascular malformations. Hemorrhoids, which are swollen blood vessels in the rectal area, can be effectively reduced in size through sclerotherapy, especially when other treatments have not been successful. For those with vascular malformations, which are congenital abnormalities in blood vessels, sclerotherapy can help alleviate associated pain, swelling, or bleeding, improving overall quality of life.
At Aspire Medical Aesthetics, we prioritize patient safety and satisfaction. Our team of experts will work closely with you to determine if sclerotherapy is the appropriate treatment for your specific condition, ensuring that you achieve the best possible results. Whether you are seeking relief from discomfort or looking to enhance your aesthetic appearance, our personalized approach to sclerotherapy can help you achieve your goals.
Sclerotherapy is one of the key procedures we offer to help you achieve smoother, healthier-looking skin. Our experienced team tailors each sclerotherapy session to meet the unique needs of our clients, ensuring optimal results and patient satisfaction.
A typical sclerotherapy session at Aspire Medical Aesthetics lasts between 30 to 60 minutes, depending on the extent of the vein condition and the specific techniques employed by our skilled practitioners. During your session, a specialized sclerosing solution is carefully injected into the affected veins.
Your journey begins with a comprehensive consultation, where we assess your condition and develop a customized treatment plan. Our commitment to patient care doesn’t end with the procedure; we provide detailed post-treatment guidance, including advice on wearing compression stockings and recommendations for activity levels to enhance recovery and treatment efficacy.
While many clients see significant improvements after just one session, multiple treatments may be necessary to achieve optimal results. At Aspire Medical Aesthetics, our goal is to ensure you feel confident and comfortable throughout your treatment journey. Let us help you take the first step towards rejuvenated skin and improved well-being. For more information, contact us or schedule an appointment online. We have convenient locations to serve you in Scarsdale NY, and New York, NY.
