Sclerotherapy

Introduction to Sclerotherapy

Tired of those annoying spider veins or bulging varicose veins stealing the spotlight from your legs?

Dr. Ahmed Ibrahim at AR Aesthetics has you covered with sclerotherapy—a tried-and-true treatment that zaps unwanted veins without surgery, drama, or major downtime. Whether you’re near Melbourne, Tampa, or St. Petersburg, this simple procedure uses injections to make those veins vanish, leaving your skin looking smooth and fresh. It’s been a staple in vein care for years because it works, plain and simple. No gimmicks, just real results from a pro who knows how to get you back to showing off your legs confidently.

What is Sclerotherapy?

Sclerotherapy is a minimally invasive treatment for unsightly or uncomfortable spider and small varicose veins. It involves injecting a special solution called a sclerosant directly into the affected veins. This solution irritates the lining of the blood vessel, causing it to collapse and eventually be reabsorbed by the body. Blood is naturally rerouted through healthier veins, leaving your skin looking clearer and more even-toned.

It’s a time-tested method that has been used for decades, but with Dr. Ibrahim’s advanced training and aesthetic sensibility, the results feel anything but outdated.

A woman with short, gray hair is looking at her reflection in a mirror. She is wearing a white robe. She is touching her face, likely examining her reflection. The woman in the mirror appears to have some visible signs of aging, such as wrinkles. The setting appears to be a bathroom or similar space. The focus is primarily on the woman and her reflection, with a soft out-of-focus background. - Sclerotherapy in Tampa, Melbourne and St. Petersburg, FL

What Are the Benefits of Sclerotherapy?

Sclerotherapy offers both cosmetic and functional benefits. From a visual standpoint, it reduces the appearance of spider veins, broken capillaries, and small varicose veins, restoring a smoother, more uniform skin tone to areas such as the thighs, calves, and ankles.

Functionally, it can relieve symptoms like aching, swelling, and cramping that often accompany these problematic veins. There’s no downtime, general anesthesia, or need to take time off work. It’s a low-maintenance fix for something that can affect your self-esteem and comfort.

Who Are the Best Candidates for Sclerotherapy?

You may be a great candidate for sclerotherapy if you’re tired of covering up your legs due to visible veins or experiencing discomfort from small varicose veins. Ideal patients are in good overall health, do not smoke, and aren’t pregnant or breastfeeding. It’s also helpful if you’re realistic about your goals—sclerotherapy can produce dramatic improvements, but it’s not a substitute for vascular surgery or a fix for large, bulging varicose veins.

During your consultation at one of our three locations, Dr. Ibrahim will evaluate your condition and recommend the most appropriate treatment plan.

step

What is the First Step?

Your first step is booking a consultation with Dr. Ahmed Ibrahim at AR Aesthetics in Melbourne, Tampa, or St. Petersburg. During your visit, Dr. Ibrahim will examine your veins, discuss your concerns, and create a customized treatment plan tailored to your goals and lifestyle. It’s straightforward, informative, and designed to help you feel confident from the very start.

What to Expect on the Day of Sclerotherapy Treatment

On treatment day, you can expect a comfortable, straightforward experience at one of our locations. You’ll begin by changing into a gown and relaxing in one of our private treatment rooms. Dr. Ibrahim will clean the treatment area and use a very fine needle to inject the sclerosing solution into your targeted veins. Most sessions last between 30 and 45 minutes, and you can walk out and resume your normal activities immediately afterward.

Sclerotherapy Recovery

Mild bruising, redness, or itching around the injection sites is common and typically fades within a few days. Dr. Ibrahim often recommends gentle walking to promote healthy blood flow, but it’s best to avoid intense workouts, hot baths, or direct sun exposure for a few days. Compression stockings may need to be worn for up to two weeks, depending on the extent of your treatment.

How Much Does Sclerotherapy Cost in Melbourne, FL?

At AR Aesthetics, the cost of sclerotherapy is typically $300 per session, depending on the number of veins to be treated and the complexity of the case. Some people need just one session to get the job done, while others benefit from a series spaced out over time. Dr. Ibrahim will map everything out for you during your consultation—what’s needed, how long it’ll take, and what you can expect to invest.

Pricing is transparent and consistent across all three AR Aesthetics locations—Melbourne, Tampa, and St. Petersburg—so no matter where you visit us, you’ll get the same level of expertise at the same fair rate.
