Sclerotherapy
If you’re frustrated by the appearance of spider veins or suffering from aching, burning, or swelling in your legs, Sclerotherapy is a safe, time-tested treatment that can restore both your vein health and your confidence. At Elite Vascular, we specialize in minimally invasive vein treatments like Sclerotherapy, helping patients across New Jersey eliminate unsightly veins and improve their circulation without surgery or downtime.
How Sclerotherapy Works at Elite Vascular
Fast, Non-Surgical Vein Removal with Proven Cosmetic & Medical Results
Sclerotherapy is a simple in-office procedure that uses a specialized solution (called a sclerosant) to collapse and close off unwanted veins. Here’s how it works:
- Vein evaluation: Our vascular specialist uses ultrasound or visual examination to identify target veins.
- Injection of sclerosant: A fine needle is used to inject the solution directly into the affected spider or varicose vein.
- Vein collapse and reabsorption: The sclerosant irritates the vein lining, causing it to close and gradually fade as it’s reabsorbed by the body.
- No surgery or anesthesia required: The entire procedure is quick—typically 15 to 30 minutes—and patients walk out immediately after.
Over the next few weeks, the treated veins become less visible, and symptoms such as heaviness, itching, and cramping often improve significantly.
How Effective Is Sclerotherapy?
Sclerotherapy is widely regarded as the gold standard for spider vein treatment, with a long track record of safety and results:
- 80–90% of treated veins are permanently eliminated
- Visible improvement is often seen in just 3 to 6 weeks
- For larger veins, multiple sessions may be recommended for full clearance
It’s important to note that while sclerotherapy removes existing veins, it does not prevent new ones from forming—making follow-up visits and good vein hygiene part of a complete care plan.
Sclerotherapy is also suitable for patients who are not candidates for laser treatments or who prefer a non-thermal, needle-based solution for smaller surface veins.

Vein Conditions We Treat
Those visible varicose and spider veins on your legs aren’t just annoying, they’re often symptoms of vein disease, also known as “chronic venous insufficiency.” This causes poor circulation, a condition where blood pools in veins and makes them bulge.
