Sclerotherapy is a medical procedure used to treat “spider veins.” A solution Asclera® is injected directly into a vein, causing the lining of the blood vessel to swell and stick together. Over time, the vessel turns into scar tissue that fades from view.
Sclerotherapy works well for most patients. It is estimated that between 50 and 80% of injected veins may be eliminated with each session.
In general, spider veins respond to treatment in 3 to 6 weeks, and few treatments might be required.
If the veins respond to the treatment, usually they will not reappear. However, new veins may appear over time. If needed, you may return for injections.
The sclerotherapy procedure takes about 30 to 45 minutes.
Surgical compressive stockings are required to be worn during daytime for up to 7 days. They must be purchase before the procedure or from our office.
There is a maximum of 5 Asclera® vials that can be used during one session, if that limit is reached another appointment needs to be scheduled.

Asclera® is a sclerosing agent that is injected into the vein. It works by damaging the endothelium, the inside lining of blood vessels. This causes blood platelets and cellular debris to attach to the lining of the vessels. Eventually, cellular debris and platelets cause the blood vessel to clot. Over time, the clotted vein will be replaced with tissue.
It varies from individual to individual but typically 2-4 treatments are required for the best results. In patients with a few veins, 1-2 sessions will suffice. More treatments are required where veins are more numerous and extensive.
Just like any other injection, the most you may feel is a slight prick when the needle is administered. The procedure does not typically require anesthesia, though a topical numbing agent can be applied at the patient’s request.
The procedure takes approximately 15-60 minutes, depending on how many veins need to be treated. The best part about sclerotherapy is that there is no recovery time afterward. You can get back to your regular routine immediately after the treatment. However, intense exercise should be avoided for a few days.
Patients are recommended to wear compression garments following the sclerotherapy procedure. This helps minimize any bruising and speeds up the recovery process by maximizing the treatment results.
Since sclerotherapy is mainly performed for cosmetic reasons, insurance companies do not offer coverage for it. However, our rates are very affordable and accessible to many of our clients, making our sclerotherapy treatment worth every dollar.
