Sclerotherapy is a minimally invasive medical procedure designed specifically to eliminate spider veins, particularly on the legs. During treatment, Dr. Bonakdar injects a specialized solution directly into the affected veins using an ultra-fine needle.
This solution, called a sclerosant, works by irritating the lining of the blood vessel, causing it to collapse and stick together. Over time, the body naturally redirects blood flow through healthier veins and gradually absorbs the treated vessels. Most patients require 2-3 sessions spaced several weeks apart for optimal results, with visible improvement appearing within 3-6 weeks after each treatment. Sclerotherapy has been used safely and effectively for decades, making it the gold standard for spider vein treatment in Newport Beach and worldwide.
Spider veins are small, dilated blood vessels that appear close to the surface of the skin, resembling spider webs or tree branches. They typically appear red, blue, or purple and are most commonly found on the legs and face.
Unlike varicose veins, spider veins are usually flat and don't cause physical discomfort, but they can be a source of cosmetic concern for many individuals. They develop when valves within the veins weaken, allowing blood to flow backward and pool instead of efficiently traveling back to the heart. Common causes include genetics, prolonged standing, hormonal changes, pregnancy, weight gain, and sun exposure. At Bonakdar Aesthetics in Newport Beach, we offer effective sclerotherapy treatments that can significantly reduce the appearance of these unwanted veins, restoring confidence and allowing you to show off your legs again.
Most of us spend plenty of time in shorts and dresses here in sunny Orange County. But if you're bothered by spider veins on your legs, you may find yourself covering up rather than confidently showing off your skin. Sclerotherapy offers a simple, effective solution to help you regain that confidence.
During your sclerotherapy treatment at Bonakdar Aesthetics, you'll experience a comfortable, efficient procedure designed with your satisfaction in mind. The treatment begins with cleansing the targeted area, followed by precisely placed injections using an ultra-fine needle. Dr. Bonakdar's gentle technique minimizes discomfort, with many patients describing only a slight pinching sensation.
The sclerosing solution works immediately to collapse the walls of the treated veins, causing them to gradually fade from view. A typical session takes just 15-30 minutes, depending on the number of veins being treated. You'll be able to walk out of our office and resume most regular activities the same day - making this an ideal "lunchtime procedure" for our busy Newport Beach clients.
For optimal results, Dr. Bonakdar may recommend wearing compression stockings for a short period following treatment to support the treated vessels and enhance results. Most patients see significant improvement after 2-3 sessions spaced approximately 4-6 weeks apart, though you'll begin noticing positive changes within just a few weeks of your first treatment.

Your recommended treatment will be determined by Dr. Bonakdar after a thorough evaluation. She may recommend 1 or more of the treatments below depending on the type of vein being treated.
Sclerotherapy
Sclerotherapy is a minimally invasive procedure that is best for improving the look of spider veins on the legs. During treatment, a special solution is injected into the vein that irritates the vascular lining and causes the vein to deteriorate. Blood is then redirected through healthier veins and the treated vein is harmlessly absorbed by the body. Side effects are relatively minor and can include localized bruising, itching and redness. Dr. Bonakdar will recommend the appropriate number of treatments for best results.
M22 Nd:YAG Laser
Dr. Bonakdar recommends laser vein removal for Newport Beach and Orange County patients with spider veins on legs that are too small to treat with Sclerotherapy. The Nd:YAG laser is also effective for broken capillaries and cherry angiomas on the face and body. This procedure uses laser energy to selectively heat blood vessels and stimulate blood coagulation. In turn, the blood vessel walls collapse, resulting in destruction of the vein. Multiple sessions can produce dramatic and sustained results.
Radiosurgery
Radiosurgery removes spider veins and broken capillaries similarly to the Nd:YAG laser except it uses radio-frequency energy rather than laser energy to heat and seal blood vessels. Very small electric currents are transmitted to the blood vessels to promote blood coagulation and destroy unwanted veins.
