How long is each Asclera® session?

A typical sclerotherapy session lasts 15 to 45 minutes. 

 

What should I expect after being treated with Asclera®?

Maintain graduated compression

• 2-3 days after treatment of spider veins

• 5-7 days after treatment of reticular veins

• For extensive varicosities, longer compression treatment is recommended

• Post-treatment compression is necessary to reduce the risk of deep vein thrombosis.

Encourage walking

• 15-20 minutes immediately after treatment

• Daily for a few days

​

What should I avoid right after treatment?

For two to three days following the treatment, please avoid:

• Heavy exercise

• Sunbathing

• Long plane flights

• Hot bath or sauna

​

You should not be treated with Asclera® if you:

• Have a known allergy to polidocanol
