Asclera: A new breakthrough in the treatment of spider and vericose veins

Asclera (polidocanol) Injection, spider vein removal Los Angeles, is an injectable sclerosing agent that has been used safely and effectively for over 40 years in Europe. Polidocanol, the active ingredient in Asclera, treats spider veins and small varicose veins by irritating the wall of the problem vein and encouraging it to close, which reroutes circulation to other, healthy veins.

How does Asclera Spider Vein Removal Los Angeles Treatment Work?

Varicose veins occur when tiny valves inside the veins stop working, interfering with the normal flow of blood. This can cause swelling, discoloration, and discomfort. When injected into the affected varicose or spider vein, Asclera irritates the vein’s interior lining, causing the valves to sclerose, or harden, and close. As a result, blood is prevented from flowing into these malfunctioning veins, eliminating the swelling, bulging, and discomfort often associated with varicose veins.

Asclera is not indicated for use in large varicose veins, but veins between 1 and 3 mm in diameter can be treated with Asclera. Asclera functions in the same way to treat spider veins, which are smaller than varicose veins and are typically not associated with painful side effects, but can appear dark red, blue or purple.

Asclera (polidocanol) Injection has been used in Europe to successfully treat spider and varicose veins in the legs for decades and was FDA approved for use in the United States in 2010. Over 5 million treatments have been performed with a high success rate.

Who Is A Candidate For Asclera?

Most men and women with small varicose veins (reticular) or spider veins can be considered good candidates for injection sclerotherapy treatments. However, there are certain medications or health conditions which may preclude treatment, including specific cardiovascular or bleeding disorders.
