Sclerotherapy with Asclera

Sclerotherapy with Asclera®: A Gold Standard for Spider & Varicose Veins

Asclera® (polidocanol) is an FDA-approved injectable solution used for sclerotherapy, a minimally invasive treatment that effectively eliminates spider veins and small varicose veins by irritating the vessel walls and causing them to collapse and fade over time.

How Asclera® Sclerotherapy Works

🔹 A fine needle is used to inject Asclera® directly into the vein.
🔹 The solution damages the inner lining of the vessel, causing it to close.
🔹 Over time, the body naturally absorbs the treated vein, making it less visible.

Key Benefits of Asclera®

✔ Minimally invasive – No surgery or general anesthesia required.
✔ Effective for small veins – Treats spider veins (≤ 1mm) and reticular veins (1-3mm).
✔ Quick procedure – Typically takes 15-45 minutes per session.
✔ Minimal downtime – Patients can return to most daily activities immediately.
✔ Visible results – Veins fade over weeks to months, with optimal results in 1-3 treatments.
