Sclerotherapy is a treatment that eliminates unwanted small vessels on the lower extremities, also known as spider veins. Sclerotherapy involves injections of a solution directly into the vein called Asclera. Asclera is an FDA-approved treatment that irritates the lining of the blood vessel, causing it to collapse, and your body to reabsorb the treated vessels.
Sclerotherapy is a proven procedure and the results of sclerotherapy can be permanent. Patients can achieve desirable results within 1-4 treatment sessions. Because the vascular system can regrow new pathways, at times maintenance is needed.
