Laser Leg Vein Therapy

Combination of light and bi-polar radio frequency (RF) energies provides, maximum treatment to small, red spider veins on the fact to large blue-green leg veins.

Sclerotherapy

Sclerotherapy involves an injection of a solution (generally sodium chloride) directly into the problematic vein. The solution irritates the lining of the vessel, causing it to well and stick together, and the blood to clot. Over time, the vessel turns into scar tissue that fades from view.

Hypertonic Saline Sclerotherapy

Hypertonic saline 23.4% concentration is approved by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA), but its use in sclerotherapy is off label. The principal advantage of this agent is the fact that it is a naturally occurring bodily material with no molecular toxicity. Suggested hypertonic saline concentrations are 23.4% for reticular veins (2-4 mm) and venulectasias (1-2 mm) and 11.7% (half strength) for telangiectasias (< 1 mm). The solution irritates the lining of the vessel, causing it to well and stick together, and the blood to clot. Over time, the vessel turns into scar tissue that fades from view.

Polidocanol (Sclerotherapy)

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 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.

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

Note: Asclera® has not been studied in varicose veins more than 3 mm in diameter and not indicated for this use.
