Experience the Magic of Sclerotherapy
Sclerotherapy is a safe, non-surgical treatment designed to reduce or eliminate spider veins and reticular veins, most commonly found in the legs. This minimally invasive procedure involves injecting a specialized solution into the affected veins, causing them to collapse, fade, and be naturally absorbed by the body. The result? Smoother, clearer skin and relief from uncomfortable symptoms—with minimal downtime.
What is Sclerotherapy?
Sclerotherapy uses a saline-based solution that irritates the inner lining of the targeted vein. This causes the vein to swell, scar, and gradually close off. Over time, the treated vein is absorbed by the body, and blood reroutes through healthier veins nearby. The treatment is typically completed in under an hour and requires no surgical incisions.
A Natural Look and Feel
Sclerotherapy offers seamless aesthetic enhancement, significantly fading the appearance of spider and reticular veins. The result is a more youthful, refreshed look—especially in the legs—without the need for invasive procedures.
Your Personalized Treatment Plan
Each treatment is customized based on the size, location, and number of veins being addressed. Our expert team at Oakville Plastic Surgery ensures every plan is tailored to achieve your ideal outcome.

Relieve Symptoms, Not Just Appearance
In addition to cosmetic benefits, Sclerotherapy helps alleviate common symptoms associated with spider veins, such as:

- Night cramps
What to Expect During and After Treatment
- Minor discomfort is normal during injections
- Possible side effects include bruising, raised red areas, and small skin sores—typically resolving in days to weeks
