Sclerotherapy Vancouver
Sclerotherapy is a minimally invasive injectable treatment offered at our Dermapure clinics in Vancouver. It is considered the reference treatment for visible vein concerns of the lower limbs and works by injecting a sclerosing solution directly into the affected vein, which gradually closes and is then naturally reabsorbed by the body.
Sclerotherapy can address spider veins as well as larger varicose veins on the legs, ankles and feet, allowing blood flow to redirect through healthy surrounding veins. The treatment may be used on its own across a series of sessions, or paired with complementary in-clinic options such as vascular lasers or medical-grade skincare protocols, depending on individual goals, vein anatomy and overall venous health.
Because every patient’s vein anatomy, goals and medical history are different, sclerotherapy at our Dermapure clinics in Vancouver always begins with a personalized consultation with a physician or healthcare professional. Together, you will assess whether sclerotherapy is the most appropriate option for you and discuss a realistic treatment plan, the expected results and the possible side effects.

Follow-Up & Maintenance
At your initial consultation, the physician will determine how many treatments are required per leg. The number of sclerotherapy treatments necessary depends on the extent of the vein disease and we are limited to the quantity of medication per visit. Closure of the affected veins can be visible within several days however treated veins tend to fade within a few weeks to several months. Support stockings are recommended to promote healthy circulation in the lower limbs and prevent and minimize recurrence. Patients can return to most usual activities post treatment.
Contraindications
Sclerotherapy is contraindicated in pregnant and breastfeeding women as well as a known allergy to the sclerotic agent used. Special consideration is required in people with medical conditions that make them more vulnerable such as hypercoagulability (blood clotting), a history of a deep venous thrombosis or pulmonary embolism.
