The Specifics
What is ASCLERA?
ASCLERA is a sclerotherapy injection treatment that uses FDA approved polidocanol to effectively treat unwanted spider veins, varicose veins, and reticular veins. The sclerosing agent found in ASCLERA is uniquely formulated to damage the endothelium tissue of blood vessels which causes the body to breakdown the veins and replace them with healthy tissue.
What cosmetic concerns does ASCLERA address?
ASCLERA specially addresses spider veins, reticular veins, and varicose veins of the lower extremities. ASCLERA’s use extends from small varicose veins and uncomplicated spider veins to more extensive varicosities.
Who is the ideal candidate for ASCLERA?

What are the potential side effects of ASCLERA?
ASCLERA side effects and adverse events include injection site discoloration, injection site pain, and injection site warmth. These usually resolve in a few days to weeks. Severe allergic reactions including anaphylaxis can occur.
What can someone expect from the results of ASCLERA?
The results of ASCLERA will start to become visible following the first session. Some individuals may require multiple injections and multiple sessions.
What is the average cost of ASCLERA?
The actual cost of an ASCLERA treatment will vary but generally averages around $200 to $400 per session. Procedure cost is dependent on a candidate’s location, the board certified healthcare provider, the involvement of the procedure, and the individual candidate.
