How Sclerotherapy Treatment Works
Sclerotherapy uses a specialized sclerosing solution injected directly into visible spider and reticular veins through an ultra-fine needle. Performed under clinical supervision at Rejuveme in San Jose, the solution irritates the vessel lining, causing the vein walls to collapse and seal. Blood reroutes to deeper, healthier veins as the treated vessel fades.
Over several weeks the body’s lymphatic system gradually absorbs the treated tissue and clears pigmentation and fine vessel remnants. Most patients feel only mild stinging or cramping during injection and minor bruising afterwards. Compression stockings are required immediately after treatment to support healing; this reduces swelling and helps the sealed vessels disappear more predictably.
Treatment Course And Scheduling
A medical consultation is required before your first sclerotherapy session to confirm candidacy and plan the treatment area. Individual clearance typically requires a series of 2–4 treatments spaced several weeks apart. Each in-office treatment session lasts about 30 MINUTES and pricing starts at $350, with total cost based on area size and medication vials.
Our Willow Glen office in Downtown Willow Glen is convenient for local commuters, accessible from Lincoln Avenue, The Alameda, State Route 87 and Interstate 280. Appointments suit busy professionals and parents before or after work, or on weekends. Treatments are busiest in Jan, Feb, Oct and Nov because cooler weather and covered legs help healing before swimsuit season.
What To Expect During Recovery
Sclerotherapy involves minimal disruption to daily life: it is performed in-office with zero surgical downtime, allowing most patients to resume normal activities after their appointment. Expect some temporary bruising, redness or brown pigment where veins were treated; these changes typically fade over weeks as the body clears treated vessels. Follow-up visits let us assess clearance and plan any additional sessions.
Compression stockings are required immediately after treatment; our clinical team provides personalized instructions about how long to wear them based on treated area and your lifestyle. Because optimal clearance usually depends on a planned series, we discuss expected timelines and next steps during your consultation so you can schedule around work, parenting duties, or local travel.
