Sclerotherapy is performed by injecting an irritant
solution directly into the spider veins themselves. Previously, concentrated
saline and other irritants were utilized. Today, our physicians typically inject
Asclera, an FDA approved solution for spider vein injections. The medication
irritates the walls of the spider veins, causing them to adhere and seal shut.
The vein then slowly turns into scar tissue and gradually disappears over a
period of weeks. Sclerotherapy ("sclero"), which was first developed in the
1930s, is generally performed in the doctor’s office in less than 30 minutes and
is considered highly effective when properly done, although the same vein may
require multiple injections and repeat treatments over time. The treatment can
be mildly uncomfortable but the discomfort usually passes in a few minutes. Side
affects are generally mild and temporary, and can include superficial
phlebitis, bruises and discoloration around the treatment site. Rarely, skin
sores may occur.
