Visible veins on the legs or body can be a source of discomfort or self-consciousness. At PFRANKMD, we offer advanced sclerotherapy treatments designed to reduce or eliminate the appearance of spider veins and small varicose veins with precision and minimal downtime.
Led by board-certified vascular surgeon Dr. Vicken Pamoukian, our sclerotherapy treatments blend the highest standards in vascular care with the refined aesthetic approach patients expect from PFRANKMD.
As vascular health and aesthetic medicine continue to overlap, Dr. Vicken Pamoukian’s presence at PFRANKMD allows us to offer an expanded suite of medically sound and cosmetically refined services.
Our approach is grounded in:
Medical Precision: Performed by a board-certified vascular surgeon with extensive experience in venous disorders.
Aesthetic Insight: Integrated into a broader cosmetic and longevity practice focused on natural, refined results.
Tailored Care: Each treatment plan is customized to your unique vein anatomy and goals.
We offer complimentary consultations for all vascular vein services, ensuring you receive expert guidance and a personalized plan from the start.
Consultation: Your journey begins with a comprehensive evaluation of your veins and health history.
Treatment: Sclerotherapy sessions typically last 15–30 minutes. A fine needle is used to inject the solution into the targeted veins.
Recovery: Most patients resume normal activity the same day. Compression stockings may be recommended for optimal healing.
Results: Treated veins gradually fade over weeks. Multiple sessions may be needed for optimal results.
You may be a good candidate for sclerotherapy if you:
– Have visible spider veins or small varicose veins
– Experience discomfort, aching, or heaviness in your legs
– Are in good overall health
– Are not currently pregnant or breastfeeding
Discomfort is minimal. You may feel a brief sting or cramp during the injection, but most patients tolerate the procedure well.
This depends on the extent of your veins. Some patients see results in one session, while others may require multiple treatments.
There is little to no downtime. Light walking is encouraged post-treatment, though strenuous activity should be avoided for a few days.
Treated veins are permanently closed, but new veins may appear over time. Maintenance treatments can help preserve your results.
Sclerotherapy for cosmetic purposes is generally not covered by insurance. During your complimentary consultation, we will discuss pricing and answer all your questions.
All vascular vein treatments at PFRANKMD are performed or overseen by Dr. Vicken Pamoukian, a board-certified vascular surgeon with decades of experience.
