Will spider veins or varicose veins treated with sclerotherapy come back?
There is good news and potential bad news regarding sclerotherapy results. The good news is that veins successfully treated will be gone forever. The veins will completely close and disappear into the body. This means there is no chance of them opening back up again and causing unsightly or uncomfortable results. Successful sclerotherapy results are permanent. Unfortunately, the potential bad news is that often unsightly vein conditions are not one-time affairs. People who develop spider or varicose veins often have an underlying hereditary condition, which means more of those unsightly vein areas could appear. While the body constantly changes, new veins can appear on the surface of the skin. It is common for vein issues to affect the same, or other areas in the leg. If this is the case, then sclerotherapy can be used in these areas as well.
