Introduction
Our team at Moy MD in Los Angeles, CA, is passionate about staying up to date on the latest cutting-edge skincare treatments. To combat bothersome, unwanted veins, we can perform sclerotherapy. This entails injecting the targeted veins with a specialized solution that causes them to collapse and fade, restoring your appearance and confidence.
Sclerotherapy is a safe method for reducing uncomplicated spider veins and slightly larger bluish-green veins on the legs. It is not intended to treat large, painful varicose veins. Although some vessels may disappear immediately, others may continue to shrink and disappear over the next several weeks. Often, more than one session is recommended for the best results.
Sclerotherapy is suitable for healthy, realistic patients who are struggling with the poor aesthetic appearance or discomfort caused by veins in the hands, legs, or feet. To best determine if sclerotherapy is right for you, Dr. Moy will meet with you for a thorough introductory consultation and medical evaluation. Please be advised that the procedure should not be performed for those with blood-clotting concerns or for pregnant or nursing women.

When you choose sclerotherapy at Moy MD in Los Angeles, your treatment journey begins with a personalized, empowering consultation. The doctor will listen to your goals, address all your questions, and begin preparing a one-of-a-kind treatment plan to eliminate your unwanted, uncomfortable veins. You will undergo a medical assessment during your visit to make sure sclerotherapy can be safely and effectively performed. Finally, we will book your session and offer clear guidelines to help you prepare for your visit.
On the day of your session, we will warmly greet you at our state-of-the-art Los Angeles facility and ensure you feel completely at ease in one of our comfortable treatment suites. After briefly reviewing your customized care plan and addressing any final questions, we will place you in a reclining chair with your legs or arms elevated. Next, we will cleanse the targeted regions and administer a specialized sclerosing solution into the troublesome veins, causing them to collapse and disappear. While the treatment is not usually considered painful, you may experience a minor stinging sensation when the needle enters the skin.
After your injections are complete, we will perform a light massage to ensure optimal vein closure. The treatment areas are dressed with gauze for increased comfort and protection. You can expect your appointment to last 40 to 60 minutes, depending on the number and size of veins addressed.
Your Guide to Post-Sclerotherapy Care
After sclerotherapy in Los Angeles, patients can resume normal activities right away. However, it is important to avoid strenuous workouts, hot yoga, and hot baths for around one week to support the healing process. You will be asked to wear compression stockings for a few days, which apply gentle pressure to the treated veins to help ensure they close properly. It is also critical to avoid direct sunlight, as your skin may be especially sensitive to UV rays as it recovers.
The cost of sclerotherapy in Beverly Hills, Torrance, and the greater Los Angeles area varies based on the details of your treatment plan and whether your session includes any additional wellness or cosmetic options.
