Is It Safe to Get Sclerotherapy at a Med Spa?

The safety of sclerotherapy really depends on the expertise of the injector and the underlying reason you are getting sclerotherapy.  A board certified vein surgeon will always be your best bet.  

Sclerotherapy, and any vein removal treatments for that matter, should always be performed by a board certified dermatologist, as they have the highest level of knowledge necessary to carry out the procedure in a safe and effective way. As a pioneer of sclerotherapy and double board certified dermatologist and cosmetic surgeon, I would encourage you to schedule a consultation with a reputable dermatologist before having your injections at a MedSpa. We NEVER sell a “package” for any medical procedure, because, if performed properly, only one procedure is necessary. I have found that lasers are only effective for the smallest veins and then only after sclerotherapy. In my experience, less than 1% of all leg vein patients require a laser treatment. While a “package” might sound like a good deal, I have found that you “get what you pay for.”

I would highly recommend that you see a plastic surgeon, dermatologist, vascular surgeon for an evaluation and treatment for your leg veins.
