Sclerotherpy for Spider Veins
Sclerotherapy for Spider Veins is a procedure that is used to permanently and safely remove spider veins from the legs. Spider veins are the tiny red and purple wavy lines that appear on the legs of both men and women. Many find them to be an unsightly nuisance.
Sclerotherapy helps to restore the beauty of the skin and allows for greater confidence to wear shorts, dresses, or skirts again. Our office uses Asclera, an FDA-approved solution for the treatment of spider veins.
A tiny needle is used to inject Asclera directly into the vein. The solution irritates the lining of the vessel, causing it to swell and stick together, and the blood to clot. Over time, the body will absorb the treated vein. Mild discomfort may occur, and a cramping sensation may be felt for 1 to 2 minutes when larger veins are injected. The number of veins injected in one session is variable, depending on the size and location of the veins, and the patient’s overall medical condition. Anywhere from one to several sclerotherapy sessions may be needed for any vein region. To qualify for sclerotherapy, you should be in good general health with no blood or bone disorders. You should not undergo sclerotherapy if you are pregnant or breastfeeding.
Sclerotherapy is a procedure that will be tweaked for every individual based on the number, size, and location of the veins that are being treated. In most cases, there is usually one injection for every inch of spider vein. As each injection takes place, Tonya Cameron our Advanced Aesthetic RN will place light pressure on the injection site with a cotton ball and ointment.
