Sclerotherapy is safe and is a relatively painless procedure. It often requires 2-5 treatments to obtain optimal results. So the main risk is cost and time.
Aside from this the skin changes can be itching, hyperpigmentation ( brown discoloration) which usually resolves after one year and is rare, "matting' new tiny vessels that appear similar to a bruise and can be lasered later, pain usually minimal , rare ulcers which will resolve in 4-6 weeks with local treatment but may leave a faint scar, allergic reaction to the injection material and most unlikley but important is deep vein thrombosis which is a blood clot in the deep vein of the leg and carries of risk of dislodging and going to the lungs.
