Reviews you can trust, from real people like you.
How it works
- Our highly-trained Review Moderation team evaluates all reviews before they're published to ensure they're written by people like you and not a member of a doctor's office.
- This multi-step process takes up to 24 hours from review submission to publication.
- Doctors can't pay to have reviews removed or hidden.
- Reviews are only removed at the reviewer's request or if they violate our Terms of Service.
If you have questions or believe we should re-evaluate a published review, let us know.

Removing Unattractive Spider Veins is Not Worth the Risk of Complications
This feedback is only for cosmetic sclerotherapy for spider veins - not for sclerotherapy for varicose veins.
I recently sought cosmetic treatment for superficial red and purple veins. I have done this seven times prior over the past ten years with no complications. After treatment my legs felt began to feel heavy. Both legs (though the left more than right) ached, throbbed, tingled, and had periodic jabs of sharp pain. I have never had any problems like this before and I don't have varicose veins.
My advice is do your research and think twice before undertaking a procedure that can harm the functioning of your legs if they are healthy. I hope very much my complications are temporary. If they are not, I have just aged myself decades in a day.
Looking good is important but being strong and healthy is more important.
I want to share my review because in researching my complications, I have found most vein clinics brush off complications as coincidence, when in fact there are risks (and risks even with good provider technique). If there is a medical need, the risks may be worth it. Ladies, if you have healthy legs think twice before doing this or doing it again (this was my 8th time and first time with complications).
