What is Sclerotherapy?
Sclerotherapy is a well-established medical treatment used to reduce the appearance of spider veins and varicose veins.
It involves injecting a specialized solution into the affected veins, causing them to close and gradually fade.
At our dermatology clinic in Red Deer, vein treatments are approached with clinical expertise and careful assessment to ensure the most appropriate care.
How spider vein treatment and sclerotherapy work
Sclerotherapy works by targeting the vein from the inside.
- A medical solution is injected directly into the spider vein
- The vein walls gently collapse and seal shut
- Blood is naturally rerouted to healthier veins
- Over time, the treated vein fades and becomes less visible
Your body gradually absorbs the treated vein. Results develop over weeks rather than instantly, which helps maintain a natural appearance.

For medical concerns, a referral from your family doctor is required.

Is it right for me?
You may be a good candidate for sclerotherapy if:
- You have visible spider veins that bother you
- Your veins are small and close to the skin’s surface
- You are in generally good health

A proper assessment is essential. Some vein concerns require different approaches or further evaluation. During your consultation, we review your medical history, examine the veins, and discuss realistic expectations.
