How long before I see results from sclerotherapy?

Results develop gradually as your body processes the treated vein. Smaller veins typically dissolve within 2 to 3 months, while larger vessels can take longer. Most patients notice a visible difference around 3 to 6 weeks, with continued fading over time. If you’re researching varicose veins treatments in Lee’s Summit, this gradual timeline is important to understand before starting care.

How many sessions will I need?

The number of sessions depends on how many veins we treat, their size, and how they respond over time. Some patients see satisfying results from 1 appointment, while others benefit from additional sessions. During your consultation for varicose veins treatments in Lee’s Summit, your provider walks you through realistic expectations before any treatment begins.

Does sclerotherapy hurt?

Most patients compare sclerotherapy to a brief ant bite at each injection site. The needle is very fine, and the sensation usually passes quickly. Some warmth or tenderness along the treated vein can happen in the days after treatment. If you’re considering varicose veins treatments in Lee’s Summit, your provider can explain what the appointment feels like before you begin.

What should I avoid after treatment?

After sclerotherapy, we recommend wearing compression stockings for about 7 days and walking regularly, even on the day of your appointment. You should also avoid vigorous exercise, excessive heat, and sun exposure to the treated area while you heal. When you come to Roots of Nature for varicose veins treatments in Lee’s Summit, your care team reviews the full aftercare plan before you leave.

How Cosmetic Sclerotherapy Works

Targets the Vein

For patients comparing their options for varicose veins treatments in Lee’s Summit, cosmetic sclerotherapy gives a focused way to treat visible leg veins. Your provider injects Asclera into targeted vessels, where it irritates the vein lining and helps it close.

Fades Over Time

After a treated vein closes, blood reroutes through healthier nearby vessels. The visible vein fades as the body absorbs it, so results typically develop over 3 to 6 weeks instead of appearing instantly.

Treatment Benefits & Expected Results

No Downtime Visit

Most patients return to normal routines the same day, with simple aftercare guidance to support the treated area.

Less Visible Veins

Sclerotherapy helps reduce the appearance of small red, blue, and purple leg veins for clearer-looking skin.

More Lasting Change

When a treated vein responds, it closes and stays closed, though new visible veins can develop later.

This place is awesome! I have had a lip problem spot for years and been to every kind of doctor there is. No-one would try to remove it for me. Roots of Nature removed it with laser treatment, no problems and at a very reasonable price. The folks at Roots of Nature are very professional, know what they are doing and are very good at any skin issues you may have. Kinley is an expert at the IPL treatments.

Throughout my life, I've struggled with weight issues. As a Division 1 athlete, I was able to manage my weight effectively, but after my sports career ended, I became less active and gained over 200 pounds, which severely impacted my quality of life. For years, I tried various methods to lose weight without success, until I discovered Roots of Nature Aesthetic & Wellness. A year later, I walked in using a cane, but now I've lost 70 pounds and no longer need it. I highly recommend Roots of Nature Aesthetic & Wellness for anyone looking to improve their health.
