Sclerotherapy for Spider Veins on Legs

On today’s episode of Best of Both Worlds (BOBW) Dr. Jochen will treat Jen who has Spider Veins on her legs and thighs with some Sclerotherapy. Dr. Jochen use two great treatments Glycerin and Asclera in order educate and show the differences in the two.

Your Vein Healing Journey

In addition to individualized treatment choices among Glycerin, STS (Sodium Tetradecyl Sulfate), and Asclera, post-treatment care plays a vital role in achieving the best results. Following your session, patients are encouraged to wear compression stockings for approximately 1–2 weeks to help maintain vein closure and support proper circulation. Light activity, such as walking, is also key—promoting healthy blood flow without straining the treated area. While most people experience only mild redness or bruising at injection sites—typically resolving on their own—it’s important to follow these recommendations carefully to minimize discomfort and enhance your outcome.

Your journey toward smoother, more confident legs doesn’t end with the first visit. Depending on the number and depth of your veins, a series of treatments—usually spaced 4 to 6 weeks apart—might be recommended to maximize clearance and match your cosmetic goals. At Contour Dermatology, we personally review before-and-after results to celebrate progress alongside you and ensure your treatment plan remains tailored to your needs. Whether you’re seeking relief from discomfort or simply want to feel at ease in summer attire, our team is here to support you every step of the way.
