Sclerotherapy

Sclerotherapy in Salt Lake City

Sclerotherapy is a minimally invasive medical procedure used to treat spider veins—those small, red, blue, or purple veins that appear just beneath the skin's surface, most commonly on the legs and face. The treatment involves the injection of a specialized solution, called a sclerosant, directly into the affected veins. This solution irritates the inner lining of the vein, causing it to collapse and stick together. Over time, the treated vein is reabsorbed by the body and fades from view.

Sclerotherapy Faqs

Sclerotherapy is a non-surgical procedure used to treat spider veins and small varicose veins by injecting a solution into the affected veins, causing them to collapse and fade over time.
Most patients experience minimal discomfort—often described as a mild burning or stinging sensation at the injection site. The procedure does not require anesthesia.
The number of treatments varies. Some people see improvement after just one session, while others may require 2 to 4 sessions spaced a few weeks apart for optimal results.
Common side effects include temporary redness, bruising, or swelling at the injection sites. Rarely, patients may experience pigmentation changes or small skin ulcers.
There is little to no downtime. Most patients can resume normal activities immediately, although high-impact exercise and sun exposure should be avoided for a few days.
The injected solution (sclerosant) irritates the vein lining, causing it to seal shut. The vein eventually turns into scar tissue and is absorbed by the body, making it no longer visible.
A typical sclerotherapy session takes 15 to 30 minutes, depending on the number and size of veins being treated.
You may start seeing improvements within 3 to 6 weeks for smaller veins. Larger veins can take several months to fully fade.
Treated veins usually don’t return, but new spider veins can form over time. Maintenance treatments may be needed in the future.
Ideal candidates are healthy individuals who are not pregnant or breastfeeding and are concerned about cosmetic spider veins or small varicose veins. A consultation is necessary to determine suitability.

I absolutely love going to Nuance Aesthetics and seeing Gohar, who performs all of my treatments. I truly can’t say enough—my expectations are not only met but exceeded with every single appointment. I’ve been going to Nuance for a little over two years now, and I have never been more satisfied with my results. Before finding Nuance, I had shopped around and honestly started to lose hope after several disappointing experiences. I was referred by my mother, and it completely changed everything for me. From the moment you walk in, the ambiance and environment are above par—welcoming, clean, and calming. Every treatment is thoroughly explained, and everything is done with such care and precision. Nuance has been more than just an aesthetics provider for me—it has been part of my personal journey. During a very difficult time in my life when I was diagnosed with cancer, they helped restore my confidence and made me feel beautiful both inside and out when I needed it most. I am now cancer-free, and continuing my journey with them has been incredibly rewarding. The results have been absolutely spectacular. Gohar is exceptionally gifted, especially when it comes to lips and chin enhancement—areas I always felt I lacked confidence in. Her work is natural, balanced, and truly enhances your features. I highly recommend Nuance Aesthetics and Gohar to anyone considering Botox, filler, or any aesthetic treatment. Additionally, all of the staff and Dr. Rhudy are amazing and have expertise medical experience and truly want to get to know you beyond just what they treat on the surface-that is what makes the experience exceptionally special. I am already looking forward to trying microneedling and laser treatments in the future!
Response from the owner:Thank you for your wonderful feedback and recommendation. We're glad to hear you have had a positive experience. Your satisfaction is important to us, and we look forward to continuing to support your journey. Nuance Aesthetics

These ladies are amazing, and dr. Rudy is so sweet...I have had lip filler and lip flips done at other places that left me lumpy, bruised and boy was it painful. Gohar recently did a full syringe and I basically didn't feel it, lips are perfect. Katie is a amazing injector too, she has done excellent work freezing nostrils and fixing wrinkle lines.
