Sclerotherapy

Tampa Sclerotherapy Vein Treatment

Being Your Journey To Relief From Varicose Veins And Effectively Address Your Vein Health Concerns

Sclerotherapy involves the injection of a specially formulated solution into the affected vein, causing it to collapse and gradually fade over time. As a leading treatment option, sclerotherapy reroutes blood to healthier veins, improving circulation and the overall appearance of the skin.

Get Started With A Vein Screening
Sclerotherapy is recommended for spider veins that are less than one millimeter in diameter, and uncomplicated varicose veins that are three millimeters or smaller in diameter.
  • Minimally Invasive: Simple outpatient procedure that does not require the use of anesthesia; patients can comfortably undergo the treatment without fear of pain. Additionally, it involves no surgical incisions or stitches, making the recovery process swift and virtually scar-free.
  • Fast Session & Recovery: Low-risk procedure, with minimal chances of complications or side effects. Conveniently performed in the comfort of our office often completed within 15 minutes, and patients are immediately up and walking post-treatment.
  • Highly Effective: Patients can expect to see a significant reduction in the visibility of their varicose or spider veins, resulting in clearer, healthier-looking skin and alleviating any associated symptoms like aching or swelling.

Is Sclerotherapy Right For You?

Sclerotherapy, being minimally invasive, serves as an effective solution for most patients dealing with spider veins or varicose veins. Yet, it’s not advised for individuals who have mobility issues, allergies to the sclerosing agent, a past incidence of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), clotting disorders, or those who are currently pregnant or nursing. In your consultation, Dr. Zuzga will assess your medical history and present health conditions to determine if this vein treatment is appropriate for you.

Is Sclerotherapy Safe & Are There Any Complications?

Note: The outcomes of sclerotherapy can differ, influenced by factors such as the patient’s unique condition, the extent of vein disease advancement, existing circulatory issues, the magnitude of the spider or varicose veins, and the quantity of affected veins undergoing treatment. Nonetheless, a majority of our patients witness remarkable improvements post-sclerotherapy.

In short, yes it is safe. Nevertheless, some patients might encounter minor side effects that typically subside swiftly, including:

  • Swelling
  • Bruising
  • Itching
  • Stinging
  • Inflammation
  • Skin discoloration
  • Raised red patches around the injection sites

While they are uncommon and important to notate, serious complications like blood clots in the veins treated, open wounds at the points of injection, an allergic response to the sclerosant, or cutaneous necrosis (skin death) can arise from sclerotherapy.  However, rest assured that our medical team is ready to address those issues and answer all of your questions.
