Why Choose Sclerotherapy?
If you’re tired of hiding your legs because of visible veins, sclerotherapy offers a proven, minimally invasive solution. At Torstveit Medical Aesthetics in Phoenix, AZ, we specialize in restoring skin confidence by safely and effectively treating varicose and spider veins.
Sclerotherapy has been used for decades and remains the gold standard in vein treatment. By injecting a specialized solution directly into the affected veins, the procedure causes them to collapse and fade from view over time. It’s a simple outpatient treatment requiring minimal surgery and minimal downtime, making it ideal for busy individuals who want real results without major disruption.
This treatment is especially popular in sunny Phoenix, where shorts, skirts, and swimsuits are staples. Whether you’re preparing for vacation or a special event or just want to feel better in your skin, sclerotherapy can dramatically improve the appearance of your legs.
At Torstveit Medical Aesthetics, your safety and comfort are our top priority. Our expert providers bring a compassionate touch and advanced aesthetic skills to every treatment. Start your journey to clearer, healthier-looking legs today.
Benefits of Sclerotherapy
Sclerotherapy is a go-to solution for vein concerns thanks to its non-surgical nature and long-lasting cosmetic results. At Torstveit Medical Aesthetics, patients appreciate this treatment’s blend of simplicity, safety, and effectiveness.
Here’s what makes sclerotherapy an ideal choice:
- Minimally Invasive: No incisions or stitches, just a tiny injection.
- Minimal Scarring: Treated veins collapse and fade naturally, leaving smooth skin behind.
- Quick Recovery: Most patients resume regular activity on the same day.
- Fast, Convenient Sessions: Treatments typically last just 30-45 minutes.
- Proven Results: Visible improvement is often seen in just a few weeks.
- Customized for You: Dosage and approach tailored to your specific vein patterns.
Beyond the cosmetic benefits, sclerotherapy may also relieve symptoms such as leg aching, cramping, or heaviness, which are often associated with small varicose veins.
In Phoenix’s warm climate, your legs are displayed more often, so it’s understandable to want them to look their best. Sclerotherapy helps you feel more confident wearing summer clothes or hitting the pool without self-consciousness about visible veins.
Sclerotherapy is a smart choice if you’re looking for a sclerotherapy-reward solution. Our trained specialists use advanced techniques and gentle care to ensure your experience is positive from start to finish.
Pre & Post-Treatment Care
Pre and post-treatment care are important components of your sclerotherapy journey to ensure optimal results and smooth recovery.
Before Your Treatment:
- Avoid lotion or oils on your legs on the day of treatment.
- Do not shave the area for 24 hours prior.
- Wear loose, comfortable clothing to your appointment.
- Let us know if you’re taking any medications or supplements that affect blood clotting.
After Your Treatment:
- Compression Stockings: You’ll be advised to wear medical-grade compression stockings for several days. This will promote proper blood flow and reduce swelling.
- Walk Daily: Gentle walking helps prevent blood clots and supports vein healing.
- Avoid Strenuous Activity: Skip intense workouts, hot baths, or sun exposure for at least 48 hours post-treatment.
- Mild Bruising Is Normal: Bruising and redness at the injection site may occur but typically subside over time.
Healing times vary, but many patients begin to see results in as little as 3–6 weeks. Multiple treatments spaced several weeks apart may be needed for more prominent veins.
Our Phoenix-based team will provide personalized guidance based on your needs. We’re here to ensure your recovery is seamless so you can get back to life, only more confidently.
Who is the Right Candidate?
Wondering if sclerotherapy is right for you? This treatment is an excellent option for many adults with cosmetic vein concerns.
Ideal candidates typically:
- Have visible spider veins or small varicose veins
- Experience mild symptoms like aching or heaviness in the legs
- Are in overall good health
- Do not have a history of deep vein thrombosis or vascular disease
- Are not pregnant or breastfeeding
Sclerotherapy is primarily a cosmetic treatment—it’s not intended for deeper, more serious vascular issues. That’s why a personal consultation is so important. At Torstveit Medical Aesthetics, we’ll carefully evaluate your vein health and ensure no underlying circulatory concerns before proceeding.
If you’ve been avoiding dresses and swimsuits or even looking at your legs in the mirror, sclerotherapy could be the step that turns everything around. With proper evaluation and care, many patients experience a clearer complexion and renewed sense of confidence.
How Does It Work?
Sclerotherapy works through a simple, targeted injection that closes off unwanted veins, causing them to fade away naturally over time.
Here’s what happens during treatment:
- Mapping the Veins: Our provider examines the area and identifies veins for treatment.
- Injection of Sclerosing Agent: A solution (commonly polidocanol or saline-based) is injected into the vein using a fine needle.
- Vein Reaction: The solution irritates the vein lining, causing it to collapse and seal shut.
- Body Absorption: Over time, the treated vein is absorbed by your body, and blood flow is redirected to healthier nearby veins.
You’ll be able to walk out of the clinic the same day. Most patients describe the sensation as a mild stinging or tingling, but discomfort is minimal and short-lived.
Multiple veins can be treated in one session, and several sessions may be recommended depending on the extent of the veins.
Sclerotherapy doesn’t require anesthesia, sutures, or any downtime, making it one of the most efficient cosmetic treatments available for vein visibility.
At Torstveit Medical Aesthetics, our skilled team ensures every injection is done with precision and care. Using the latest techniques, we deliver safe, consistent results that help our patients look and feel their best.
