If you’re dealing with visible veins on your legs—whether they’re small spider veins or larger varicose veins—you’re not alone. Many people in Calgary experience the discomfort and self-consciousness that comes with vein issues. Fortunately, sclerotherapy is a trusted and effective solution offered right here at Calgary Vein and Laser.
This quick, minimally invasive procedure has helped countless Calgarians reduce or eliminate unwanted veins with little to no downtime. But how long does a sclerotherapy session actually take—and what can you expect when you book an appointment?
Sclerotherapy is a non-surgical treatment used to treat varicose and spider veins. It involves injecting a special solution directly into the affected vein, causing it to collapse and gradually fade from view. Over time, your body naturally absorbs the treated vein, and blood reroutes through healthier veins nearby.
It’s one of the most effective and widely used methods for varicose vein treatment in Calgary, especially for people looking for a safe, in-office solution without surgery or lengthy recovery.
A typical sclerotherapy session in Calgary lasts between 20 and 45 minutes, depending on the size, location, and number of veins being treated. Most appointments are completed within a lunch break, making it easy to fit into your schedule.
If you’re treating a small number of spider veins, your appointment will likely be on the shorter end. For larger or more extensive varicose vein treatment, your session may take a little longer. Multiple sessions are sometimes recommended for optimal results.
You’ll lie comfortably while one of our experienced medical professionals carefully injects the solution into your problem veins using a very fine needle. You might feel a slight pinch or mild burning, but most patients tolerate it very well.
At Calgary Vein and Laser, we use advanced techniques and a gentle approach to ensure your comfort throughout the entire process.
Recovery after sclerotherapy in Calgary is typically fast and easy. You can walk out of the clinic and resume your normal activities right away. In fact, light movement is encouraged to support healing.
Compression stockings may be recommended for a few days to help with circulation and speed up recovery. Some mild bruising or redness at the injection site is normal and usually fades within a week or two.
Sclerotherapy results vary depending on the individual and the size of the veins treated. Small spider veins may begin to fade within 3 to 6 weeks. Larger varicose veins may take a few months. Most patients notice a visible improvement after just one session, but multiple treatments may be needed for full results.
Yes—many of our Calgary clients report increased confidence and relief from vein-related discomfort after treatment. Beyond the cosmetic benefits, sclerotherapy can also ease aching, swelling, or heaviness in the legs caused by problematic veins.
