Sclerotherapy is a minimally invasive treatment designed to improve the appearance of small spider veins and visible superficial veins. At Blanqa Medspa, this treatment is provided by Bianca Camille Fong, APRN, FNP-BC and is customized based on your vein concerns, treatment area, medical history, and provider assessment.

Common questions

When will I see results?
Treated veins usually fade gradually over several weeks. Some veins may require more than one session.
Is there downtime?
