SCLEROTHERAPY
What Is Sclerotherapy?
Sclerotherapy is a minimally invasive procedure used to improve the appearance of spider, reticular, and small varicose veins in the legs. Sclerotherapy involves injecting the veins directly with a prescription solution called Asclera (Polidocanol) which irritates the lining of the veins causing them to collapse, stick together, and clot. Over time the veins fade from view.

FAQs
-
Asclera is a sclerosing agent, meaning it works by irritating the inner lining of the blood vessel (the endothelium), causing it to collapse and eventually be replaced with scar tissue. This process effectively closes off the treated vein, rerouting blood flow through healthier vessels and improving both the appearance and any associated discomfort of the affected vein. Over time, the treated vein is reabsorbed by the body and fades from view.

Veins can be irritated, inflamed, bruised, and hyperpigmented during the healing process. This can last anywhere from a few days, to weeks, to months. We advise to wear compression garments and avoid heavy exercise for the week following injection.
-
This depends on how extensive the veins are that are being treated. It often takes several treatments to hit all the desired veins. Veins oftentimes need more than one treatment for optimal results.
