how it works
The simple version
Collapses Treated Veins
A solution is injected directly into the targeted vein, causing it to collapse and gradually be reabsorbed by the body, redirecting blood flow to healthier veins nearby.
A Well-Established Approach
Sclerotherapy is a long-standing, well-studied treatment for spider and varicose veins, performed by Michaela Gecova, a Registered Nurse with over 20 years of experience specifically in this treatment.

FAQ
Common questions
Is sclerotherapy painful?
Most patients describe a mild stinging or cramping sensation during injection, which passes quickly.
How many sessions will I need?
This depends on the number and size of veins being treated — your provider will map out a plan during your consultation.
Will new veins appear later?
Treated veins typically don't return, but new veins can develop over time due to genetics and other factors — periodic maintenance is common.
