Areas Treated with Sclerotherapy

At Livia Med Spa in Tampa, FL, your comfort and safety are our absolute priorities. For your Sclerotherapy session, we apply a high-strength, medical-grade topical numbing cream to the target area prior to beginning the procedure. During the treatment, most patients report feeling a quick, tiny pinch at the injection site followed by a brief, mild cramping or warm sensation as the solution disperses. Overall, our clients find the procedure highly tolerable, and Angela Spicola, APRN will continuously monitor your comfort level, adjusting device settings to ensure a relaxed and pleasant experience from start to finish.

To achieve the absolute best outcome and long-lasting improvements, we typically recommend an initial series of 2 to 4 sessions spaced 4 to 6 weeks apart. This allows the biological stimulation and dermal repair mechanisms to compound over time, leading to more structural and visible improvements. During your initial aesthetic consultation at our Tampa med spa, we will analyze your skin type and design a customized session protocol tailored specifically to your unique skin health goals.

The recovery process for Sclerotherapy is minimal, allowing you to walk and resume normal activities immediately. However, you will need to wear compression stockings for 1 to 2 weeks and avoid high-impact workouts or direct leg sun exposure for 7 days.

Ideal candidates are individuals with visible spider veins or small varicose veins on their legs who do not have major vascular disease. It is safe for all skin tones.

Many clients enjoy seeing a gradual clearing of visible spider veins, with smaller veins fading in 3 to 6 weeks and larger vessels resolving in 3 to 4 months.

Whether treatments can be combined depends on the procedures and your medical history. Discuss timing, risks, and alternatives with your provider before scheduling.
