Spider veins are not just a cosmetic issue for women. Many men also develop visible leg veins and avoid seeking treatment due to stigma or misunderstanding. But ignoring these veins may lead to discomfort or swelling, especially for those who work on their feet. More men are now realizing that vein treatment isn’t just for appearances — it’s for comfort and confidence, too.
At Chesapeake Vein Center and MedSpa, Dr. Surya Challa personally performs each sclerotherapy procedure. As a board-certified general surgeon and IAC-accredited vein specialist, Dr. Challa brings more than 15 years of hands-on experience in venous medicine. His thorough approach and advanced protocols ensure consistent results, fewer appointments, and a level of care only available from a physician-led practice.
Vein Treatment for Men: It’s More Common Than You Think
Although most vein treatment ads target women, a growing number of men are receiving care for leg veins. Many male patients are surprised to learn their symptoms are more than just cosmetic. Whether from long hours standing, genetics, or aging, visible leg veins are common in men over 40.
Men often seek sclerotherapy for:
- Discomfort or heaviness in the legs after standing.
- Spider veins or small varicose veins that appear with age.
- Embarrassment wearing shorts or swimwear due to visible veins.
More men are speaking openly about their treatment, helping reduce the stigma around seeking cosmetic or preventive care.
What Makes Sclerotherapy a Great Option for Men?
Sclerotherapy is ideal for men who want to treat spider veins without downtime. It’s performed in-office and requires no sedation. The treatment involves injecting a solution that causes the vein to collapse and disappear.
Here are some reasons men prefer sclerotherapy:
- No surgery required:Â This minimally invasive procedure involves a simple injection.
- Fast and discreet: Most appointments take under 30 minutes and don’t require time off work.
- Proven results:Â Treated veins fade within weeks, with little to no scarring.
- Boosted confidence:Â Clearer legs can improve how you feel at the gym, beach, or workplace.
Men appreciate the practical benefits of the treatment and its low-maintenance recovery.
What to Expect After Sclerotherapy
Recovery from sclerotherapy is straightforward. Most men return to work and exercise shortly after treatment. Dr. Challa typically recommends walking immediately afterward to support healthy circulation.
Here’s what you can expect post-treatment:
- Compression socks may be advised for a few days.
- Minor redness or swelling is possible but temporary.
- Results begin showing in weeks, with optimal outcomes in one month.
With fewer sessions needed thanks to Dr. Challa’s streamlined techniques, treatment is efficient and effective.
