Sclerotherapy
What Is Sclerotherapy?
Sclerotherapy involves injecting a chemical agent (sclerosant) into spider veins or small varicose veins, irritating the vessel wall and causing the vein to seal shut. The treated vein is absorbed by the body over the following weeks, gradually fading from view. Multiple sessions may be required depending on the extent of involvement.
Sclerotherapy is the gold standard for spider veins (telangiectasias) on the legs — small red, blue, or purple vessels visible at the skin surface. It is also used for reticular veins and small varicose veins not suitable for laser ablation. When combined with EVLA, it provides comprehensive treatment for both the underlying reflux and the surface appearance.
Sclerotherapy in Tijuana, Mexico at Russald Medical Center is offered at significantly lower cost than US vein clinics. It is commonly performed alongside EVLA for comprehensive vein treatment and can be completed in a single outpatient visit.

Why Russald Medical Center
Why Choose Russald for Sclerotherapy?
Specialist Vascular Physicians
Our vascular team specializes in minimally invasive venous treatments. EVLA is performed under ultrasound guidance — the same technique standard at leading US vascular centers.
Outpatient — No Hospitalization
Both EVLA and sclerotherapy are performed in our outpatient facility under local anesthesia. No general anesthesia, no hospital admission, no overnight stay required.
60–75% Below US Vascular Clinic Pricing
EVLA in the US commonly costs $3,000–$7,000 per leg without insurance. At Russald Medical Center, the same ultrasound-guided procedure is available at a fraction of that cost.
Same-Day Ambulation
Patients walk immediately after EVLA and sclerotherapy. A compression garment is applied at the clinic. Most patients return to normal activity within 1–2 days.
Duplex Ultrasound Evaluation
Candidacy for EVLA requires vein mapping with duplex ultrasound to identify the source of reflux. This evaluation is part of the pre-treatment workup at Russald.
Minutes from San Diego
Vascular treatment at Russald Medical Center can be completed in a single day trip for most San Diego-area patients, or a short 1–2 day visit for those traveling from further.
