Asclera® (polidocanol) Injection is a prescription medicine that is used in a procedure called sclerotherapy to remove unwanted veins on your legs. It is administered 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

Asclera is injected with a tiny needle directly to the vascular area. It produces an irritation to the lining of the vessel, which closes the vessel down. There is a gradual fading of this bruised area which can last from several weeks to months. This makes it an ideal treatment for the cooler months. Often multiple treatments are needed and can differ between patients. The average number is from three to five.
