Asclera®
Over
the years many different solutions have been used to inject or sclerose spider
veins. Our physicians, always at the forefront of medicine, offer the
recently FDA approved medication called Asclera.® Asclera®
is a sclerosing agent that is injected into the vein. It works by damaging
the endothelium, the cells lining the inside of blood vessels. This causes blood
platelets 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 scar tissue.
Asclera® treatment has a safer
profile than older injection agents. Specifically it is known to cause less
irritation and less risk of discoloration in the skin surrounding the areas of
treatment. Asclera® treatment is performed in under thirty
minutes in office. No anesthesia is required. Patients normally may
require several sessions to achieve desired results in each leg.
