Spider veins (telangiectasias) are clusters of tiny blood vessels close to the skin surface, appearing as red, blue, or purple lines — commonly found on the legs and face. While harmless, they cause cosmetic concerns for many people. Sclerotherapy offers a proven solution for achieving smoother, vein-free skin.

A specialized sclerosing agent is injected directly into the spider vein. The agent causes the vessel walls to swell and stick together, sealing off the vein. Over several weeks, the treated vessel fades — often becoming barely visible or disappearing completely.

The procedure is virtually painless with no anesthesia required. All injections are performed by qualified medical staff under the supervision of Dr. McDonald.

You can expect approximately 80% improvement in treated vessels. The number of sessions depends on severity — a personalized assessment is given at your complimentary consultation.

• Non-surgical — no incisions required
• Virtually painless — no anesthesia needed
• Minimal side effects — temporary bruising or swelling that resolves quickly
• Swift recovery — return to daily activities same day
• ~80% vein reduction in treated areas
• Medically performed — all treatments by qualified staff

You can walk and resume normal activities immediately. Avoid strenuous exercise for a few days. Compression stockings worn for 1–3 weeks post-treatment are often recommended.

Small spider veins show improvement within 3–6 weeks. Larger veins may take 3–4 months. Most clients require 2–4 sessions.
