FAQ

Sclerotherapy Training FAQ for Nurse Practitioners

Common questions about sclerotherapy training for nurse practitioners.

Practice authority varies by state. In full practice authority states (currently 27 states plus DC), NPs can practice independently without physician oversight, including performing sclerotherapy. In reduced or restricted practice states, a collaborative agreement with a physician may be required. Check your state's nurse practice act for specific requirements or contact AAOPM for guidance.
Our Sclerotherapy Training Course is completed in just 1 day. You'll receive your Certificate of Completion immediately after successfully finishing the hands-on training and didactic components. Most NPs begin treating patients within days of completing the course.
This depends on your state. Full practice authority states allow NPs to practice independently without collaborative agreements. Reduced practice states require a career-long collaborative agreement, while restricted practice states require physician supervision. AAOPM can help you understand your state's specific requirements and connect you with collaborating physicians if needed.
Sclerotherapy treatments typically range from $300-600 per session, depending on the treatment area and number of veins treated. NPs working in aesthetic practices or running their own clinics can generate significant revenue from vein treatments, with many adding $50,000-100,000+ annually to their income by offering sclerotherapy services.
Yes. AAOPM is accredited by the ACCME (Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education). This sclerotherapy course is approved for 8.0 AMA PRA Category 1 Credits, which are recognized for NP license renewal and certification maintenance in most states.
In full practice authority states, NPs can own and operate independent aesthetic practices offering sclerotherapy and other procedures.
