Sclerotherapy

Sclerotherapy for Spider & Varicose Veins

Sclerotherapy treats smaller varicose veins and spider veins by injecting a solution that causes the vein to collapse and gradually fade from view. It’s a quick, in-office treatment with little to no downtime.

For deeper veins that can’t be seen on the surface, we use ultrasound-guided sclerotherapy, which lets the physician target the vein precisely for better results. Sclerotherapy is often used alongside EVLT to clear any remaining veins.

At the Windsor Vein Centre, sclerotherapy and the follow-up visits that go with it are included in your treatment fee.
