I had about 6 Sclerotherapy sessions a 7 months ago . The veins appeared to vanish for a few weeks then they came back with a vengeance and new ones...many new ones.It took over 15 years for me to develop the few that I had. Then after Sclerotherapy I suddenly had legs covered in ugly veins. Now this is the devastating part. I used to have beautiful firm looking legs otherwise now just 7 months later my veins are riddled with dents and dimples that look like really bad cellulite and only where the injections were. Also I now have bulging varicose veins....I am devastated. I am wondering how I can repair damage I believe to be caused by sclerotherapy. I had nice legs except for a small amount of spider veins seven months ago. I am thin and very active. After injections into reticular thigh veins I have developed bulging varicose veins and severe cellulite where I got the thigh injections. It took years to develop the few spiders and they came on very gradual now my legs are covered and this is just seven months later. Is there any help for?

at first, the treatment worked for me too! now, i have so many spider veins, i will never wear a pair of shorts, or let anyone see my legs. it's terrible. treatment worked at first, but now i'm disfigured. and the doctor's office didn't respond to a message i left asking about this. they got a lot of money from me. now i look worse than ever!! very upset.

I, too, recently went in for scelerotherapy on few very small spider veins on my calves. I was told I should see 90% improvement. The doctor suggested treating entire leg where I had some tiny ones here and there I hadn’t really noticed or bothered me. She also injected main veins for precautionary measures to prevent later ones from occurring. I trusted her expertise. Now, post 2 months, I haven’t had any of the few veins I had disappear, but now have more and are all much darker! And, my upper legs,which didn’t need treatment at all, look like I have cellulite, ripples and bulges everywhere! I AM SO UPSET! I don’t know if I will ever wear shorts without being self conscience. I would be thrilled to have the very faint spider veins on my calf and have never been talked into making my legs look this bad! I am returning in a week for post appointment and I am petrified! What happened? What did she do wrong? I had beautiful legs before and now they look disgusting.
