How Much Does Spider Vein Sclerotherapy Cost?

Spider veins are small, red and blue veins that appear close to the surface of the skin, commonly found on the legs or face. While many people seek treatment for spider veins for cosmetic reasons, the treatment also helps alleviate discomfort, itching, and aching that may accompany these veins. One of the most common questions patients ask before undergoing treatment is: How much does spider vein sclerotherapy cost?

At Oceana Vein Specialists, located at 2125 S El Camino Real #210, Oceanside, CA 92054, we specialize in spider vein treatments, including sclerotherapy, a highly effective and minimally invasive option. Costs can vary based on several factors, which we’ll discuss in this blog post. If you’re considering treatment or would like more information, call us at (760) 769-8346 to schedule a consultation.

What is Spider Vein Sclerotherapy?

Spider vein sclerotherapy is a popular and effective treatment for spider veins of the legs. The procedure involves injecting an irritant solution directly into the vein. The solution causes the vein to collapse and eventually fade as the body naturally absorbs the treated vein. Over time, blood is rerouted through healthier veins, improving both the appearance and health of the treated area.

The procedure is minimally invasive and typically takes less than an hour to complete, depending on the size of the treatment area. Patients can usually return to their normal activities shortly after the treatment, with minimal downtime required. After spider vein sclerotherapy, patient often have to wear compression stockings for 5-7 days, which helps healing and decreases risk of skin pigmentation.

Factors Affecting the Cost of Spider Vein Sclerotherapy

The cost of sclerotherapy can vary widely based on several factors, which can affect the total price for your treatment. Dr. Adam Isadore will create a customized treatment plan tailored to your specific needs. Some of these factors include:

1. Size of the Treatment Area

The larger the treatment area, the more time and injections are required. Larger areas may also need multiple sessions to achieve optimal results, which can increase the overall cost.

2. Number of Sessions Required

Most patients need more than one session to see the desired outcome. The number of treatments required depends on the severity of your spider veins and how well your veins respond to each session. Typically, the initial sessions involves foam sclerotherapy to treat the larger reticular and feeder veins, with subsequent sessions focusing on the smaller spider veins, which require multiple rounds of injection for complete fading. The typical patient requires 3-5 sessions for complete resolution.

3. Experience of the Doctor

More experienced specialists often charge higher fees due to their expertise and reputation. At Oceana Vein Specialists, Dr. Adam Isadore is a board-certified vein specialist with extensive experience in treating spider veins, ensuring the best possible care for your treatment. The quality of treatment results is directly related to the experience and expertise of the injecting physician.

Insurance Coverage and Payment Options

One of the biggest concerns for patients is whether sclerotherapy is covered by insurance. The answer depends on the reason for the treatment. If you’re seeking sclerotherapy for purely cosmetic reasons, insurance does not cover the cost. Likewise, spider vein sclerotherapy in considered to be cosmetic, and thus not covered, by most insurance providers. However, if you’re experiencing symptoms like pain, swelling, or aching related to your spider veins, or you have associated varicose veins, your treatment may be considered medically necessary. Typically, in order to be covered by insurance there has to be underlying venous reflux or venous insufficiency in the larger, deeper veins. Sometimes, Dr. Adam Isadore will perform a diagnostic ultrasound examination to ensure the health of the underlying veins before starting spider vein sclerotherapy.
