What Is Sclerotherapy?
Sclerotherapy is a minimally invasive medical procedure used to improve the appearance of certain superficial leg veins in appropriate candidates. During treatment, an FDA-approved prescription sclerosing solution is injected directly into targeted veins, causing the treated veins to gradually close and be naturally absorbed by the body over time.
At Blanqa Medspa, every sclerotherapy treatment is personalized based on your medical history, vein characteristics, skin type, and treatment goals. Following a comprehensive consultation, your provider will determine whether sclerotherapy is an appropriate treatment option for your individual needs.
Treatment recommendations are individualized based on your clinical evaluation and aesthetic goals.
Common Treatment Areas
Sclerotherapy may be appropriate for improving the appearance of:
Spider veins
Small reticular veins
Selected superficial leg veins
Treatment recommendations are individualized based on each patient's vein characteristics, medical history, and treatment goals.

Results TimelineHair restoration treatments are intended to support gradual changes over time.
Some patients may notice gradual improvements in the appearance of hair density or scalp quality over several months as the body's natural healing response progresses.
Hair restoration treatments require patience, and multiple treatment sessions are often recommended. The degree of improvement varies based on the underlying cause of hair thinning, the treatment selected, adherence to the recommended treatment plan, and each individual's biological response.
Hair restoration treatments are intended to support the appearance of hair density and overall scalp health in appropriate candidates. They are not intended to cure the underlying cause of hair loss, and individual outcomes depend on many factors, including the cause and severity of hair thinning, overall health, and adherence to the recommended treatment plan.
Individual response varies.
Recovery & AftercareMost patients experience minimal downtime following treatment.
Temporary side effects may include:
Mild redness
Bruising
Tenderness
Temporary swelling
Itching
Small areas of discoloration
Temporary firmness along treated veins
These effects typically improve over several days to several weeks.
Compression stockings may be recommended following treatment based on your individualized treatment plan.
Walking is generally encouraged following treatment, while strenuous exercise, prolonged sun exposure, hot tubs, and saunas may be temporarily restricted according to your provider's aftercare instructions.
Treatment response varies depending on vein size, circulation, lifestyle factors, and individual healing response.
Maintenance treatments may be recommended, as new spider veins may develop over time.
Important Safety Information
Sclerotherapy is a medical procedure and should only be performed following an appropriate medical evaluation by a qualified healthcare provider.
At Blanqa Medspa, we utilize FDA-approved prescription sclerosing agents for appropriate candidates.
As with any injectable medical procedure, sclerotherapy carries potential risks, side effects, complications, contraindications, and alternatives, which will be discussed during your consultation.
Potential risks include bruising, swelling, temporary skin discoloration, tenderness, allergic reactions, ulceration, trapped blood, superficial thrombophlebitis, infection, recurrence of treated veins, and, in rare cases, more serious vascular complications requiring medical evaluation.
Results vary by individual and cannot be guaranteed.
Not all patients are candidates for sclerotherapy. Certain medical conditions, pregnancy, breastfeeding, active skin infections, history of blood clots, vascular disease, certain medications, or other factors may affect eligibility. Your provider will determine whether treatment is appropriate based on your individual medical history and clinical evaluation.
Blanqa Medspa maintains appropriate emergency protocols and clinical policies to support the prompt recognition and management of potential treatment-related complications.
During your consultation, Bianca Camille Fong, APRN, FNP-BC, will evaluate your vein characteristics, medical history, and treatment goals to determine whether sclerotherapy may be the most appropriate treatment option for your individual needs.
