Smooth Veins, Confident Legs
What is Sclerotherapy?
Sclerotherapy is a minimally invasive treatment designed to eliminate unwanted varicose and spider veins, improving both comfort and appearance.
At NJ Vein Care and Aesthetics Center in Clifton, New Jersey, vascular surgeon Gary Nackman, MD, FACS, uses this precise procedure to treat veins that cause swelling, aching, or cosmetic concerns. During treatment, a specialized solution is injected directly into the affected veins, causing them to collapse and gradually be absorbed by the body. Sclerotherapy is quick, performed in the office, and typically requires little to no downtime.
Many patients notice improvement in leg discomfort, heaviness, and fatigue, as well as visible reduction of bulging veins. The procedure can treat multiple veins in a single session, and follow-up treatments can address remaining veins for optimal results. Sclerotherapy is safe, effective, and suitable for patients seeking a minimally invasive alternative to surgery. By targeting the underlying vein dysfunction, it promotes healthier, more comfortable legs.
Targeted Vein Therapy
How Sclerotherapy Works
Sclerotherapy works by injecting a specialized sclerosant solution into diseased veins, causing the vein walls to stick together and collapse.
Once closed, blood is naturally rerouted through healthier veins, restoring proper circulation. Ultrasound guidance may be used for precise targeting of deeper or larger veins. The procedure is performed under local anesthesia, ensuring minimal discomfort. Tiny injections are placed along the affected vein, leaving minimal marks or scarring.
Compression stockings are often recommended after treatment to support healing and improve results. Over time, the treated veins are absorbed by the body and fade from view. Follow-up visits allow Dr. Nackman to monitor healing and determine if additional treatments are necessary for complete results.
