I recently had thigh lipo, after the bruising subsided around week 4, I realized I was left with horrific broken spider veins all over my legs. I'm also still getting electrical shocks of pain in the thigh.The broken veins are so dark that leg makeup will not cover them, it's devastating. Is sclerotherapy for broken spider veins effective? How long after lipo can I get sclerotherapy-Is it safe? I've read it can cause more pain, dangerous blood clots, and other dangerous side effects.

Answer: Sclerotherapy Thank you for your question. Sclerotherapy might be a good option to treat your veins. Sclerotherapy treatment involves an injection of a chemical that will cause your vein to contract and become scarred internally. The vein will disappear from your body after some time. Generally, it takes about 8-10 weeks for the vein to disappear. You could also try laser resurfacing and microneedling. For more information, I recommend getting a in person consultation from a board-certified dermatologist.
