$300 Both Legs and Thighs, Burbank, CA
We charge $300 for both legs/ankles and thighs. This will adress all the veins in those areas. However, you may need more than one session to get the best results. Some people get away with one session, but most people need 2-3.

Ask physician about sclerotherapy and laser vein therapy costs
Don't focus on cost, focus on experience in treating these problems. It is costly for a physician or health care provider to spend an hour to do sclerotherapy or to laser your veins. The best and most advanced laser machines cost in excess of 100,000 dollars and the laser handpieces have limited # of shots and that is why they are expensive to use.

Cost of Sclerotherapy for Leg Veins
In our office, we usually start our first-time sclerotherapy patients with a test treatment. That is usually done on one smaller area on one leg. Depending on the results of the test site treatment, we move on to treat all the involved areas over the next few treatments. Optimal results usually requires 2 to 4 sessions of sclerotherapy spaced about 4 to 6 weeks apart. Some veins will improve with one treatment, but others often need repeat treatments for complete resolution...

Cost of Sclerotherapy
Our office charges $350 for a session, which typically lasts 20 minutes. There is a limit to the amount of solution that can safely be injected per session. It is most important to insure that you have qualified and trained physician who is practicing in his or her trained specialty.

Cost of Sclerotherapy
In my office, I charge $350 for a 30 minute session to treat as many veins as possible.
I believe that sclerotherapy is still the gold standard for treatment of leg veins.
We do have lasers in our office to treat smaller facial veins.

Costs can vary
Costs tend to vary widely depending not only on where you are but who the patient is. We charge $250 per leg and use hypertonic saline. Pricing can vary based on time taken as well as number of veins treated. Finally, what is injected can also change the pricing because some agents are more expensive than others. Laser tends to be the most expensive because although nothing is injected, the laser is quite expensive to buy and maintain. Hope this helps!

Sclero pricing
I charge 500.00 per session for sclerotherapy. It can take from one - three sessions to inject all of the spiders depending on the extent. After the injections are complete, I normally laser any blushes that remain.

Average Cost of Spider Vein Treatment, Sclerotherapy and Laser
This is not a straighforward answer, as there are many variables to consider, but I will try to give you some realistic dollar values. One of the most important considerations is not whether you will be saving $50 by going to clinic A over clinic B, but rather the level of expertise and training of the person doing your treatments. There are places that advertise themselves as "vein spas" or "vein clinics" where you will be treated by a nurse or medical technician with limited...
