While sclerotherapy is primarily used to treat superficial spider veins, it can certainly work as a varicose vein treatment. However, it’s important to know that it may take several sclerotherapy sessions to achieve your desired results, as varicose veins are typically larger than superficial spider veins.  If you have more questions on what type of veins are treated with sclerotherapy, contact one of our friendly dermatologists for more information. We’re happy to answer any questions you may have regarding sclerotherapy!
