Introduction

This minimally invasive procedure offers a practical solution for those seeking relief from both the cosmetic and physical discomfort associated with vein issues. Our dedicated team is committed to delivering exceptional care, ensuring a smooth and comfortable treatment experience from start to finish.
Sclerotherapy is a medical procedure used to eliminate varicose and spider veins. It involves injecting a solution directly into the vein, causing it to scar and reroute blood to healthier veins. The collapsed vein is then reabsorbed into local tissue and eventually fades. This treatment is renowned for its effectiveness in improving the appearance of vein abnormalities and alleviating associated symptoms.
Sclerotherapy is suitable for healthy patients who are frustrated by uncomfortable or unsightly veins in the feet, legs, or hands. Dr. Kaweski and her team in San Diego, CA, will provide a detailed consultation to assess whether the treatment is right for you. Please be advised that sclerotherapy is not recommended for those with blood-clotting disorders or for pregnant or nursing women.
When the procedure is performed with skill, expertise, and artistry by our practitioners in San Diego, CA, patients enjoy the following key benefits:
Significantly reduces or completely eliminates the appearance of varicose and spider veins.
Avoids the need for surgery, offering a simpler alternative with minimal discomfort.
Patients can typically return to normal activities the same day as their treatment.
Alleviates symptoms associated with varicose and spider veins, such as aching, swelling, and burning.
Improves skin appearance for a more uniform and vein-free look.
Offers durable outcomes, with treated veins unlikely to reappear.
Your initial step with sclerotherapy in San Diego is to talk with Dr. Kaweski and her team for a preliminary consultation and medical review. The doctor will answer your questions about the treatment, explore your goals for improvement, and go over the risks, costs, and downtime associated with sclerotherapy. Once you feel comfortable moving forward, we will book your session in La Mesa and provide guidelines to follow before your visit.
The process begins with a small needle injecting a sclerosing solution into the affected vein. This solution irritates the lining of the vein, causing it to collapse and stick together. Over time, the treated vein turns into scar tissue that fades from view. The procedure typically takes less than an hour and requires no anesthesia, with patients able to resume daily activities shortly after.
Your Guide to Post-Sclerotherapy Care
After your sclerotherapy appointment, you will be able to resume normal activities right away. However, it is essential that you avoid strenuous exercise and exposure to heat for about 1 week to maximize your healing. You will wear compression stockings for several days, which apply gentle pressure to the treated areas to help expedite your recovery.
Stay out of direct sunlight, as your skin will be especially sensitive during the first week or so. For best results, make sure to follow all of Dr. Kaweski’s instructions to the letter and don’t skip your scheduled follow-up sessions in La Mesa!
The cost of sclerotherapy in La Mesa and San Diego can vary depending on your goals, the areas of the body addressed, and whether your treatment is paired with other aesthetic services. After Dr. Kaweski completes your initial consultation, you’ll be given transparent pricing tailored to your personalized treatment plan.
