Advanced Leg Vein Treatments at Prolase
Visible leg veins can affect both comfort and confidence. At Prolase Med Spa, we offer customized treatment plans for spider veins, small varicose veins, and visible surface veins using minimally invasive options such as sclerotherapy and laser vein treatment.
Your treatment begins with a consultation to evaluate your concerns, review your health history, and determine the best approach based on the type, size, and location of your visible veins.
NOT ALL LEG VEINS ARE THE SAME
Which Type of Leg Vein Do You Have?
Not all visible leg veins are the same. Understanding the type of vein helps determine whether sclerotherapy, laser vein treatment, or another approach is best.
- SPIDER VEINS
- RETICULAR VEINS
- VARICOSE VEINS
Spider Veins
_________________________
Small red, blue, or purple veins that appear close to the skin's surface. These are often cosmetic and commonly treated with sclerotherapy or laser vein treatment.
Reticular Veins
_________________________
Blue-green veins that may appear
slightly deeper under the skin. These
can sometimes act as feeder veins
and may require a customized
treatment approach.
Varicose Veins
_________________________
Larger, raised, or rope-like veins that may be associated with discomfort, heaviness, or swelling. In some cases, a vascular evaluation may be recommended before cosmetic treatment.
Is Leg Vein Treatment Right for You?
Leg vein treatment may be a good option if you are bothered by visible spider veins, small blue veins, or cosmetic vein concerns on the legs.
* Visible spider veins on the thighs, calves, or ankles
* Small blue or purple surface veins
* Cosmetic concerns about leg appearance
* Discomfort associated with superficial veins
* Interest in a minimally invasive treatment option
You may not be a candidate if you are pregnant, have an active skin infection, have certain blood clotting conditions, or have untreated severe venous disease. Your provider will review this during your consultation.
COMPARE YOUR OPTIONS
Sclerotherapy vs. Laser Vein Treatment
Different types of visible veins respond best to different treatments. During your consultation, your provider will determine whether sclerotherapy, laser treatment, or a combination approach is most appropriate.
SCLEROTHERAPY
- Best for many spider veins and small blue veins.
- Uses a tiny injection of a specialized solution.
- Works by causing the treated vein to gradually collapse and fade.
- Often used for larger treatment areas on the legs.
LASER VEIN TREATMENT
- Best for tiny red surface vessels and select small veins.
- Uses targeted light energy.
- Works by heating the visible vessel so it can fade over time.
- No downtime for most patients
- Often used for smaller or more delicate visible vessels.
How Sclerotherapy Works
Sclerotherapy is a minimally invasive treatment designed to target visible veins so they can gradually fade from view.
CONSULTATION
Your provider evaluates your veins, reviews your medical history, and determines whether sclerotherapy is right for you.
TREATMENT MAPPING
Your visible veins are carefully assessed so we can create a customized treatment plan for the areas you want to improve.
PRECISION TREATMENT
A specialized solution is injected into targeted veins using a very fine needle.
GRADUAL FADING
Over the following weeks, the treated veins gradually fade as your body naturally absorbs them.
Most appointments take approximately 20–60 minutes, depending on the treatment area.
Real Results

THE PROCESS
What to Expect During Your Leg Vein Treatment Journey
Our goal is to make the process clear, comfortable, and personalized from your first consultation through your follow-up care.
- BEFORE TREATMENT
- DURING TREATMENT
- AFTER TREATMENT
- WEEKS FOLLOWING
Your visit begins with a consultation. We review your medical history, evaluate the visible veins, discuss your goals, and determine the safest and most effective treatment plan for you.
Most sessions are relatively quick and performed in-office. Your provider will cleanse the area, mark or identify the target veins, and treat them using sclerotherapy, laser technology, or a customized combination approach.
You can typically walk immediately after your appointment. Compression stockings may be recommended depending on the treatment performed. Your provider will review aftercare instructions, including activity guidelines and what to avoid.
Visible veins usually fade gradually. Some patients may need more than one session for best results, especially when treating multiple areas or more extensive spider veins.

Frequently Asked Questions About Leg Vein Treatment
Have questions about sclerotherapy, spider veins, recovery, or candidacy?
Below are answers to some of the questions we hear most often from our patients.
How many sclerotherapy sessions will I need?
The number of sessions depends on the number of visible veins, the size of the treatment area, and how your body responds. Many patients need a series of treatments for best results.
Does sclerotherapy remove veins permanently?
Treated veins can fade significantly after the body absorbs them. However, new veins may appear over time due to genetics, hormones, lifestyle factors, or circulation changes.
Can treated veins come back?
Once a treated vein closes and is absorbed, that specific vein is usually gone. However, surrounding or new veins may become visible in the future.
Can I exercise after sclerotherapy?
Light walking is often encouraged after treatment, but strenuous exercise may need to be avoided for a short period. Your provider will give you specific aftercare instructions.
Do I need compression stockings?
Compression stockings may be recommended depending on the treatment area and your provider’s assessment. They can help support circulation and healing after treatment.
Is sclerotherapy painful?
Most patients describe sclerotherapy as very tolerable. You may feel tiny pinches or mild stinging during the injections.
When will I see results?
Results appear gradually. Some veins begin fading within a few weeks, while others may take several weeks or months to improve.
Will insurance cover leg vein treatment?
Cosmetic spider vein treatments are typically not covered by insurance. If you have symptoms such as swelling, heaviness, pain, or large varicose veins, a medical vascular evaluation may be recommended. Prolase offers pay over time plans through Cherry.
Who should not receive sclerotherapy?
Sclerotherapy may not be appropriate for patients who are pregnant, have active skin infections in the treatment area, have certain clotting disorders, or have untreated vascular disease. A consultation is required to determine candidacy.
