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.
