What are the complications of sclerotherapy and surface laser treatment?
Surface laser therapy may discolor darker skin tones, including tanned skin. Our laser utilizes a special wavelength resulting in a more effective treatment of darker skin types. Adverse reactions to sclerotherapy are very rare. They may include a brownish discoloration appearing within a few weeks after treatment. This is an indication of extreme irritation and may resolve in 1-12 months. Other very rare complications are ulceration, phlebitis, nerve injury and allergic reactions. Regardless of treatment, the spider veins will initially look worse before they look better.
