Sclerotherapy – Prolase Laser Clinic

Sclerotherapy

Sclerotherapy is an injection procedure for the treatment of varicose leg veins.

Sclerotherapy (Leg Vein Injection Treatment)

Asclera® (polidocanol) Injection is a prescription medicine that is used in a procedure called sclerotherapy and is administered by a healthcare provider to treat two types of veins:

Uncomplicated spider veins (very small varicose veins ≤ 1 mm in diameter)
Uncomplicated small varicose veins (1 to 3 mm in diameter) known as reticular veins

How Does Asclera® Work?
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 and cellular debris 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 tissue.

Patient Satisfaction
On average, 87% of patients were satisfied or very satisfied with their Asclera® treatment
