Clearer Legs. Confident Steps.
Sclerotherapy is a minimally invasive injection treatment for spider veins and small varicose veins on the legs and thighs. A sclerosant solution is injected into affected vessels, causing them to collapse and fade over time. At Aurevia Skincare in Irvine, we treat visible leg veins that affect how you feel in skirts, shorts, and swimwear — with medically supervised care and realistic expectation-setting.
Is Sclerotherapy Right for You?
- You have spider veins or small varicose veins on the legs or thighs — not large, bulging veins requiring vascular surgery
- You are in good general health and can walk after treatment
- You are not pregnant or breastfeeding
- You understand results appear gradually over weeks to months and may require multiple sessions
- You can wear compression stockings as directed after treatment
Large varicose veins, leg pain, swelling, or skin changes may require ultrasound evaluation and referral to a vascular specialist. We assess candidacy at consultation.
What Happens During Sclerotherapy
- 01
Consultation & Mapping
We review your vein history, medications, and goals. Visible vessels are marked while you stand — gravity reveals the full pattern.
- 02
Injection Session
A fine needle injects sclerosant into targeted veins. Most sessions take 20–45 minutes depending on area treated. Discomfort is typically mild — a stinging or cramping sensation.
- 03
Compression & Walk
Compression stockings are applied immediately. We ask you to walk for 15–30 minutes post-treatment to promote blood flow through healthy vessels.
Aftercare Essentials
Wear compression stockings as directed — usually 1–3 weeks depending on vein size. Avoid hot baths, saunas, and strenuous exercise for 48–72 hours. Sun exposure on treated legs can cause pigmentation — use SPF.
Treated veins may look worse before they fade — temporary redness, bruising, and darkening are normal. Results develop over 3–8 weeks; larger veins may take longer. Most patients need 2–4 sessions spaced 4–6 weeks apart.

Sclerotherapy FAQs
Does sclerotherapy hurt?
Most patients feel mild stinging or cramping during injection — not severe pain. No general anesthesia is required. Topical numbing is rarely needed.
How many sessions will I need?
Spider veins often need 2–4 sessions; larger reticular veins may need more. Veins fade gradually — patience is essential for optimal results.
Are results permanent?
Treated veins that successfully collapse generally do not return. New veins can develop over time due to genetics, hormones, or standing occupations — maintenance sessions may be needed years later.
Can I treat veins before my wedding?
Plan sclerotherapy at least 3–6 months before events requiring bare legs. Our Veil Bridal Prep program can coordinate leg vein treatment in your timeline.
