Sclerotherapy is a minimally invasive medical procedure used to treat varicose veins and spider veins, which are usually found on the legs (Mayo Clinic, Cleveland Clinic). The procedure involves injecting a solution into the targeted vein to damage the vessel and cause it to eventually collapse and fade from view (NCBI).

The primary reasons for undergoing sclerotherapy are to improve cosmetic appearance and reduce associated symptoms such as pain and burning. While results may vary, most patients report a 70%-75% improvement in appearance.

Sclerotherapy is considered a permanent treatment, as the treated veins will become scar tissue and gradually dissolve over time.

In terms of what to expect, the procedure involves a minor pinch from the needle injection, and some patients may experience discomfort or cramping during or shortly after the procedure, but these symptoms typically subside quickly. Most patients can return to their normal activities the same day.

Common side effects are minor and may include injection site pain, itching, redness, and bruising..
