Is It Safe to Get Sclerotherapy at a Med Spa?

Sclerotherapy is an art in of itself. Medical judgement and expertise is necessary to determine if the injection is purely for cosmetic reasons or for underlying medical venous disease or BOTH. Seek a Board Certified Physician who has certification from the American Board of Venous and Lymphatic Medicine. 

Whether the treatment takes place in a dermatologist’s office or licensed medical spa, the safety and efficacy of sclerotherapy depends upon the knowledge and skill of the administering practitioner. You need to go for a consultation, and select a practitioner based on his or her credentials as well as the level of trust inspired. Expect to be given a thorough examination by the administering physician or PA who specializes in vascular conditions. I’d also suggest you ask to see before and after photos of actual patients before you make your decision.
