Sclerotherapy Niagara

Sclerotherapy is a minimally invasive medical treatment used to eliminate varicose veins and spider veins—small, damaged veins that appear close to the skin’s surface. A special solution, called a sclerosant, is injected directly into the targeted veins, causing them to collapse and be reabsorbed by the body. The result? Reduced discomfort and smoother-looking skin.

This treatment not only improves the cosmetic appearance of the legs and other treated areas, but also helps alleviate symptoms like itching, swelling, aching, and pain caused by varicose or spider veins.

PRICE $50 and up + HST (Pricing varies depending on the number and size of veins treated, and whether multiple areas are addressed in one session.)

What to Expect

During the procedure, a fine needle is used to inject the sclerosing solution into the affected veins. You may feel a slight tingling or burning sensation. Treatment typically takes 15–45 minutes, depending on the number of veins being treated.

Small spider veins, especially around the knees or backs of the legs, may show immediate improvement, while other veins may take a few weeks to a few months to fully fade. Multiple sessions may be required for optimal results.

Some clients may experience bruising, mild swelling, or slight discoloration at the injection site, which typically resolves within a few days.

  • Keep skin clean and moisturized

  • Avoid applying alcohol-based products to the area for 24–48 hours
