Sclerotherapy for Aesthetic Doctors: Why You Should Include It in Your Practice
In aesthetic medicine, many doctors focus almost exclusively on facial treatments, overlooking a major opportunity: the legs. Telangiectasias (spider veins) are a very common aesthetic concern, especially among women — and the good news is, there's a safe and effective medical solution: sclerotherapy.
In this article, we’ll explain why this procedure should become part of your treatment menu if you want to stand out, boost your income, and provide more comprehensive care to your patients.
1. High patient demand, low specialized offer
Millions of people experience small varicose or spider veins that make them feel uncomfortable in skirts, dresses, or swimsuits. Despite being such a common issue, very few aesthetic clinics treat it properly — and even fewer from a true medical perspective. This gives you a powerful opportunity to differentiate yourself by offering a safe, effective treatment with visible results in just a few weeks.
2. Minimally invasive and highly profitable
Sclerotherapy with polidocanol or glycerin-based agents is performed in-office, without the need for an operating room. The procedure usually takes 20 to 30 minutes, requires no medical leave, and patients can quickly return to their normal routine. For doctors, it involves low-cost materials and high profitability — it can be offered as a single session or in packages.
3. Perfect to combine with other body treatments
One of sclerotherapy’s biggest advantages is its versatility. It can be easily combined with other body treatments like lymphatic drainage, radiofrequency, pressotherapy, or even body contouring programs. It's also a great way to introduce facial patients to body treatments they didn’t know you offered.
4. Patient loyalty and trust
When you expand your services, patients feel more cared for and understood. Solving a long-standing issue — such as those annoying spider veins that beauty centers couldn’t fix — creates deep trust and strengthens your long-term relationship with patients.
5. Easy to learn and implement
Learning sclerotherapy doesn’t take months, nor does it require expensive equipment. At CIME Academy, we offer practical workshops where you’ll not only learn the technique, but also indications, contraindications, necessary materials, how to manage complications, and how to integrate this service profitably into your aesthetic clinic.
