There are very few risks associated with the treatment of spider veins with sclerotherapy and laser therapy, but complications can occur.
Possible complications of sclerotherapy include scarring, blood clots, severe inflammation, adverse reactions to the sclerosing solution and brownish-red spots on the treated area. Be sure to ask your doctor about the complication rate among his or her spider-vein patients.
Laser treatments can cause a change of skin color around the treated area, which may take weeks to fade. It is also possible that your veins will not respond to the laser treatment at all.
