If your spider veins shown in the pictures are solely cosmetic, sclerotherapy could cost anywhere from $100-$500 depending on how many vials you'd need. If it's a medical issue of venous reflux disease, your health insurance will most likely cover treatment for sclerotherapy and a vein ablation (if needed).

My recommendation is for you to do a full evaluation including ultrasound of your legs for venous insufficiency with a board certified vein specialist. These veins you are showing could be the result of underlying venous insufficiency that very often develops when the valves that keep blood flowing out of the legs and back to the heart no longer function, causing to pool in the legs. Some of the signs and symptoms you should be aware of if also present are: leg or ankle swelling, leg heaviness and fatigue, leg pain, aching or cramping, burning, and/or itching of the skin.

Regarding cost, medical insurance companies pay for many of the procedures part or in full depending on your coverage. It is important to discuss your coverage with insurance provider prior to treatment. Best,

If you are using compression, ibuprofen, and a heating pad, and that is not enough, talk to your doctor about a short course of a corticosteroid like prednisone or medrol. They can work wonders. Good luck!

Thank you for your question. Typically, I recommend patients to wear the compression garment for at least 1 week for optimal results. Please make sure you check with your provider and always seek treatment from a board-certified dermatologist.
