Sclerotherapy is a minimally invasive procedure that effectively eliminates spider veins and small varicose veins through targeted injections of a specialized solution. This treatment causes problematic veins to collapse and gradually fade from view, redirecting blood flow to healthier veins. The result is clearer, smoother skin and improved vascular health, allowing you to show your legs with renewed confidence and comfort.

Our process is designed to be thorough, comfortable, and centered on your unique vascular needs, ensuring you feel cared for and confident from start to finish.
- The Consultation: Listening First. Your journey begins with a comprehensive consultation with our medical team. We thoroughly evaluate your venous condition, discuss your symptoms, and assess your aesthetic concerns. This personalized approach allows us to understand your specific needs and develop a tailored treatment plan that addresses both the visible manifestations and underlying causes of your venous issues.
- The Procedure: Precision and Care. On the day of your treatment, we ensure your comfort with properly positioned seating and meticulous preparation of the treatment area. Using ultrathin needles and precise injection techniques, we introduce the sclerosing solution directly into the targeted veins. Dr. Cavazos’ expert hand ensures each injection is placed with accuracy to maximize effectiveness while minimizing discomfort. Throughout the procedure, we maintain open communication, checking your comfort level and addressing any concerns immediately.
- The Follow-Up: Ensuring Wholeness. After your procedure, we provide detailed aftercare instructions and compression therapy recommendations to optimize your results and healing. Our commitment extends well beyond the treatment room. We schedule follow-up appointments to monitor your progress, assess the results, and determine if additional sessions may be beneficial for optimal outcomes. This comprehensive approach ensures your vascular health is addressed holistically, not just cosmetically.
Our Guiding Philosophy for Sclerotherapy
At DRC360, our philosophy for Sclerotherapy is rooted in a comprehensive approach to vascular health that extends beyond mere cosmetic improvement. We view vein treatment as an integral part of total body wellness, recognizing that venous issues often reflect deeper circulatory concerns that deserve thorough medical attention.
Dr. Cavazos’ approach involves meticulous vascular assessment and a customized injection technique that addresses each patient’s unique venous patterns. Rather than using a one-size-fits-all approach, he carefully selects the appropriate sclerosing agent concentration and injection method based on the size, location, and type of veins being treated.
The integration of compression therapy following treatment is considered essential to this holistic method. Dr. C sees proper post-procedure care as equally important as the treatment itself, ensuring optimal vein closure and reduced risk of recurrence. This comprehensive care represents the core of the DRC360 mission: combining advanced medical techniques with personalized follow-up care to help patients achieve true vascular wellness and confidence in their appearance.
What to Expect: Your Results Timeline
- Immediately After Treatment: The treated veins may appear more pronounced initially, with possible redness or slight swelling at injection sites. This is a normal response and indicates the treatment is beginning to work. Avoid strenuous exercise and heavy lifting for 24-48 hours after treatment, and try to avoid long periods of sitting or standing to optimize blood flow and healing.
- The First Few Weeks: You’ll wear compression stockings as directed (typically 1-3 weeks) to enhance results. The treated veins will gradually begin to fade, though some may require additional time to fully disappear.
- One to Two Months: Most patients notice significant improvement in the appearance of treated veins. Smaller spider veins often disappear completely, while larger veins continue to fade and become less noticeable.
- Three to Six Months Post-Treatment: The full results typically become apparent as the body naturally removes the collapsed veins. Most patients experience a dramatic reduction in visible veins and improvement in leg comfort, with skin appearing clearer and smoother.
Frequently Asked Questions about Sclerotherapy
Is Sclerotherapy Painful?
Patient comfort is a top priority at DRC360. During the procedure, you may experience brief, mild discomfort similar to a small pinch when the needle enters the vein, followed by a slight burning sensation as the solution is injected. Most patients find the treatment very tolerable without the need for anesthesia. Dr. Cavazos utilizes the finest needles available and employs gentle injection techniques to minimize any discomfort. Many patients are pleasantly surprised by how comfortable the procedure is, often reporting less discomfort than they anticipated.
How Does Sclerotherapy Compare to Laser Vein Treatments?
Sclerotherapy and laser vein treatments each have their place in vascular medicine. Sclerotherapy tends to be more effective for deeper, larger spider veins and small varicose veins, particularly on the legs. The injectable solution works from inside the vein, causing it to collapse completely. Laser treatments are often better suited for very fine, superficial spider veins or for areas where needles may be more difficult to place. At DRC360, we offer both treatment options and may recommend one or a combination based on your specific vein patterns, size, and depth to achieve optimal results.
How Many Sessions Will I Need?
The optimal number of sessions depends on the extent and severity of your venous condition. For minor spider veins, many patients achieve satisfactory results with just 1-2 treatments. More extensive or stubborn vein issues may require 3-4 sessions spaced approximately 4-6 weeks apart for complete resolution. During your consultation, we will assess your unique situation and create a precise treatment schedule designed to give you the clearest, smoothest legs possible. We take a conservative approach, preferring to treat in stages to ensure optimal safety and results.
At DRC360, you are more than just a patient; you are a partner in your own health journey. We have created a nurturing, welcoming environment where you will never feel rushed and your concerns will always be heard. Let us help you overcome the discomfort and self-consciousness of visible veins, revealing legs you’ll be proud to show off again.
