If spider veins on your legs or face affect your confidence, sclerotherapy offers a solution. Yet navigating this cosmetic procedure can feel impersonal. Direct Primary Care (DPC) transforms this journey by offering tailored, transparent care—so you can step out with smooth, vein-free skin.
Spider vein treatment (sclerotherapy) injects a solution (e.g., polidocanol) to collapse unwanted veins. Requires 1–3 sessions; results appear in weeks.
Key facts for patients:
Uses: Treat leg or facial spider veins, reticular veins.
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 extra 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 consult to clear skin.
Vein mapping: Use transillumination to identify feeder veins.
Solution selection: Choose polidocanol, saline, or glycerin based on vein size.
Contraindication screening: Check for pregnancy, DVT, 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 fading.
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.
