If spider or varicose veins affect your confidence or comfort, sclerotherapy offers a minimally invasive solution. Yet navigating this procedure can feel impersonal. Direct Primary Care (DPC) transforms this journey by offering coordinated, compassionate care—so you can step out with confidence.
Sclerotherapy injects a solution (e.g., polidocanol) into veins, causing them to collapse and fade. Treats spider veins, small varicose veins, or reticular veins. Requires 1–3 sessions for optimal results.
Key facts for patients:
Uses: Treat leg or facial spider veins, venous malformations.
Safety: Low risk of allergic reactions (1–2%); temporary bruising common.
Costs: Traditional clinics charge 300–500 USD/session; DPC reduces fees by 20–30%.
Risks of fragmented care:
Incomplete treatment requiring additional sessions.
Undermanaged post-procedure hyperpigmentation.
Financial strain from unplanned touch-ups.
Direct Primary Care (DPC) operates on a membership model (100–200 USD/month), providing unlimited access to a provider who coordinates every phase—from consultation to clear skin.
Vein mapping: Use transillumination or ultrasound to identify feeder veins.
Solution selection: Choose polidocanol, glycerin, or hypertonic saline based on vein size.
Contraindication screening: Check for pregnancy, deep vein thrombosis, or allergies.
All-inclusive pricing: No hidden fees for consultations or follow-ups.
Reduced fees: DPC members pay 240–400 USD/session vs. 500+ USD traditionally.
Precision injections: Use fine needles and proper compression for optimal results.
24/7 access: Message your provider about swelling, itching, or discoloration.
Post-care guidance: Recommend compression stockings (2–3 weeks) and sun avoidance.
Maintenance sessions: Schedule touch-ups for new veins or residual traces.

Case 2: Tom, 50, with facial telangiectasia
Tom’s DPC provider used hypertonic saline, clearing redness without hyperpigmentation.
Q: How soon can I exercise post-procedure?
A: Light walking okay; avoid heavy lifting for 48 hours.
Q: Will veins reappear?
A: New veins can form; DPC advises on prevention (e.g., weight management).
Q: Are follow-ups included?
A: Yes. Discuss results, new veins, or concerns at no extra cost.
The American College of Phlebology (ACP) emphasizes patient-centered care. DPC delivers by:
Slashing wait times: 90% of patients start treatment within 2 weeks vs. 6+ weeks traditionally.
Reducing complications: 95% adherence to compression protocols minimizes staining.
Cutting costs: Members save 100–200 USD/session through bundled care.
Sclerotherapy isn’t just about vanishing veins—it’s about revealing your best self. With DPC, you gain a partner who ensures meticulous care, attentive follow-up, and strategies to maintain your results. No red tape, no billing surprises—just legs you’re proud to show.
