Understanding Varicose Veins
Varicose veins occur when weakened or damaged valves cause blood to pool in superficial veins, resulting in enlarged, rope-like vessels that are often visible on the legs. Contributing factors include genetics, aging, hormonal changes, prolonged standing, and pregnancy.
Common symptoms include:
- Swollen, bulging veins
- Aching or heavy legs
- Skin discoloration or itching
- Nighttime cramping
- Visible spider veins in surrounding areas
At Starlite Aesthetics, we take a holistic, medical approach to vein care—evaluating not just appearance, but function, circulation, and overall vascular health.
Sclerotherapy: A Gold Standard in Treatment
One of the most effective and time-tested methods for treating varicose and spider veins is sclerotherapy. This minimally invasive procedure involves injecting a medical-grade solution directly into the affected vein, causing it to collapse and gradually fade from view as the body reroutes blood flow through healthier vessels.
Sclerotherapy is ideal for:
- Small to moderate varicose veins
- Cosmetic spider veins on the legs and ankles
- Post-pregnancy vein changes
- Preventing progression to more serious vascular conditions
Because the procedure requires no anesthesia or incisions, clients can return to normal activities shortly after treatment.
Treatment Overview
- Procedure Time: 30–45 minutes
- Pain Level: Mild discomfort; numbing available
- Downtime: Minimal; compression garments may be recommended
- Results: Visible improvement within 3–6 weeks for spider veins and several months for larger varicosities
- Series: Multiple sessions may be needed for optimal results
During your consultation, Michelle will evaluate your vein condition and recommend a personalized treatment plan. We also offer adjunct therapies to support skin tone and healing, such as PRP for inflammation control and Exosome Therapy for cellular regeneration.

Is sclerotherapy safe?
Yes. Sclerotherapy is an FDA-approved, widely used treatment for varicose and spider veins. When administered by a trained medical provider, it is safe, effective, and well-tolerated.
Will the veins come back?
Treated veins typically do not return, but new varicose or spider veins can develop over time, especially if underlying venous insufficiency persists. Maintenance treatments may be recommended.
How many sessions will I need?
Many clients see improvement after just one session, though multiple treatments may be required depending on vein size, quantity, and location. Your personalized plan will outline an ideal schedule.
Can I walk after treatment?
Yes. Walking is encouraged after sclerotherapy to promote circulation. However, you should avoid strenuous exercise and hot baths for 24–48 hours.
Will insurance cover this?
Our treatments are primarily aesthetic in nature and not billed through insurance. However, if you’re experiencing pain or other medical symptoms, we can help guide you on appropriate next steps with a vascular specialist.
