Is It Safe to Get Sclerotherapy at a Med Spa?

beckymw
I recently purchased a vein treatment package at a med spa that includes 2 sclerotherapy treatments and 2 laser treatments. I'm now having buyer's remorse and am wondering if it's even safe to get a procedure like sclerotherapy done at a cosmetic med spa. I don't really feel like the people at the med spa know me (and they've barely even looked at my legs!). Am I right in worrying that I should be seeing a dermatologist or vein specialist for this procedure?
