Asclera®

What is Asclera?

Asclera® is a non-surgical procedure used to remove unwanted varicose or spider veins on the legs. Asclera® is an injection that disrupts the interior walls of the vein, causing it to constrict and close. When a vein closes, it prevents blood from flowing through it and eliminates the swelling, bulging, discomfort, and discoloration of the vein. Asclera® is only intended for small veins.

Procedure

The length of the Asclera procedure can vary. Generally, the injection process itself is relatively quick and can take anywhere from a few minutes to half an hour.

Recovery

The recovery time after Asclera treatment is typically minimal. Patients are usually able to resume their normal activities immediately after the procedure.

Results

After the treatment, the affected veins will begin to shrink and collapse, eventually disappearing over time. Some patients may require multiple sessions to achieve the desired results.

Who Qualifies for Asclera?

Generally, candidates for Asclera treatment are individuals who have small, uncomplicated spider veins or varicose veins that are close to the surface of the skin. Candidates should be in good overall health and not be pregnant or breastfeeding at the time of treatment.

Asclera treatment may not be appropriate for individuals with certain medical conditions, such as a history of blood clots or bleeding disorders, or those taking certain medications that can increase the risk of bleeding. Your healthcare provider will be able to evaluate your individual situation and determine if Asclera is an appropriate treatment option for you.

What to Expect?

Asclera® involves an injection through a needle into the vein. You may experience mild discomfort during the injections. Side effects are minimal and can include itchiness and redness near the injection site. After treatment, you will need to compress the treated area for several days, but can return to normal activities almost immediately. You should avoid strenuous exercise, sun exposure, hot tubs, or plane flights for several days after treatment.
