Sclerotherapy
in Springfield, MO
At Bailey Cosmetic Surgery & Vein Center, we understand how spider veins and varicose veins can impact your daily life. Our minimally invasive procedures offer effective solutions for patients dealing with unsightly veins and venous insufficiency. Sclerotherapy, one of our most popular treatments, involves injecting a specialized solution directly into problem veins, causing them to collapse and gradually fade from view over time. Under Dr. Bailey’s expert care, we specialize in comprehensive vein treatment options that address everything from small spider veins to larger varicose veins and reticular veins. Most patients achieve clearer, healthier legs with minimal downtime, and many patients can resume normal activities immediately after treatment.
Sclerotherapy is a minimally invasive procedure that has revolutionized the treatment of spider veins and varicose veins. During this advanced spider vein treatment, Dr. Bailey carefully injects a specialized sclerosing solution into affected veins using an ultra-fine needle. The solution works by targeting the vein walls, causing them to seal shut and redirect blood flow to healthier veins. As blood clots naturally dissolve, the treated veins are gradually absorbed by your body, eventually causing them to fade from view.
Following your sclerotherapy session, recovery focuses on promoting healthy blood flow and ensuring optimal results. Most patients experience less pain than expected and can resume normal activities immediately, though we recommend avoiding heavy lifting and prolonged standing. You will be asked to wear compression stockings as it is crucial for supporting treated areas and ensuring the best possible outcome.
Throughout your first week of recovery, you’ll continue wearing compression stockings according to our prescribed schedule. Light exercise can typically resume after 2-3 days, though you should avoid hot baths, saunas, and direct sun exposure. During this time, we’ll monitor your healing progress and ensure you maintain your follow-up appointments as scheduled.
As your recovery progresses, you’ll gradually return to all normal activities. Continuing sun protection on treated areas remains important, and you’ll notice progressive fading of the treated veins. We’ll document your progress with photos and schedule any necessary touch-up treatments to achieve optimal results.
Your long-term success involves maintaining healthy circulation habits and protecting your skin from sun damage. Regular check-ups allow us to monitor your results and address any concerns proactively. We’ll provide ongoing guidance for maintaining your results and preventing future vein issues.

A. Varicose veins are enlarged, twisted veins that usually occur on the legs and ankles. They are often blue or dark purple and tend to bulge out from under the skin. These veins develop when their internal valves stop working correctly, allowing blood to pool and the veins to stretch and twist. This may lead to blood clots, ulcers, bleeding, inflammation, and pain. Dr. Bailey can treat varicose veins with endovenous radiofrequency ablation, microphlebectomy, and other advanced procedures.
