Asclera Sclerotherapy Solution

About Asclera Solution

Vein Specialists of Northwest Georgia is excited to offer its patients Asclera (polidocanol), a type of sclerotherapy solution used to treat small varicose and spider veins. It uses a detergent-like solution that interferes with the cells of the inner lining of the damaged vein, causing the vein wall to seal shut and close. With the vein no longer open, your body will automatically redirect blood flow to other nearby healthy veins. After a short period of time, the discolored vein will completely disappear.

The beauty of this solution is that it does not sting or cause cramping when administered. A typical session with Asclera lasts between 15 to 45 minutes. One injection is usually administered per inch with multiple injections per session.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

After Treatment

For best results, we recommend that compression stockings or support hose be worn during the day for 7 days following the treatment.  Compression improves venous blood flow and helps minimize the blood from re-entering the injected veins.

In the days following treatment, patients should avoid:

• Heavy exercise
• Sunbathing
• Long plane flights
• Hot bath or sauna

Once healed, your skin will look and feel like new.
