About Our Columbus – Polaris Vein Care Team

If you're looking for sclerotherapy near you in Columbus – Polaris, Ohio, Ohio Vein & Vascular offers this proven, minimally invasive treatment for spider veins and small varicose veins right here at our Columbus – Polaris location. Sclerotherapy is one of the most effective and widely performed vein procedures available — performed by Dr. Barry J. Zadeh, board-certified cardiovascular and thoracic surgeon with over 30 years of experience.

Sclerotherapy works by injecting a specialized FDA-approved sclerosing solution directly into the targeted vein through a very fine needle. The solution causes the vein wall to collapse and the vein to gradually fade over three to six weeks. Once a vein is closed, it doesn't come back — making this a permanent solution for the treated vessels.

Our Columbus – Polaris patients come from Columbus, Westerville, Powell, Delaware, Lewis Center, and Dublin and appreciate how fast, comfortable, and convenient treatment is. A typical session takes 30 to 45 minutes with no anesthesia, no downtime, and no restrictions on walking, driving, or working afterward. Many patients treat multiple veins in a single visit and notice visible improvement within a few weeks.

Sclerotherapy is effective for spider veins, reticular veins, small varicose veins, and residual branch veins left after RFA or ClariVein®. During your complimentary consultation at our Columbus – Polaris office, your specialist will assess your veins and determine whether sclerotherapy alone or in combination with another treatment will deliver the best results.

Most patients require two to four sessions spaced four to six weeks apart. Your Columbus – Polaris specialist will create a personalized treatment plan during your initial consultation.
