Sclerotherapy is a simple office procedure which uses tiny amounts of a salt water solution to reduce or eliminate the appearance of red and purple leg veins. Typical treatments take 20 minutes and patients are instructed to wear special stockings to help maximize results afterwards. Larger veins may require more than one treatment. For small veins unresponsive to sclerotherapy, the Gemini laser is used. This laser device safely directs light to the target which minimizes the veins.
