The price for the procedure is $300.00 per (30) minute session and the cost of medicine is minimal (+/- $15). The typical sclerotherapy patient will require 1-3 sessions and will need to maintain these results thereafter. Physicians may also delegate these procedures to mid-level practitioners as another way of taking a cost center and creating a revenue center within the practice. On average, a normal medical practice should realize anywhere from $45 – $75k+ per year in profits from offering this procedure.
