Just saw a piece on local news about the FDA’s recent approval of Asclera for the treatment of small spider veins, and was wondering if the results last longer than traditional saline sclerotherapy.

Over the years, I’ve had multiple sessions (as directed) of the traditional saline sclerosing injections. Although the veins may disappear after the appropriate healing time, within 6 months to 1 year, they are back in abundance in the same areas of my legs (back of knees, etc.).

Based on my experience, I’d have to say that the saline solution can temporarily eliminate the vein; however, it’s doing nothing to eradicate the underlying problem that causes the vein to re-appear, so the treatment is worthless.

Will treatment with Asclera give more permanent results, or should I not waste my money?

Spider Veins Foam Sclerotherapy Dr.Fattahi

When properly administered, foam-sclerotherapy is a great new treatment for varicose and unsightly veins. Correct formula (fluid to air ratio) and application (starting from source of the problem first) of foam is not as easy task, and should not be done without proper training, and acquiring extensive experience with liquid sclerotherapy. Patients must use caution in selection of a doctor to treat their varicose and unsightly vein problems. Many physicians claim to do sclerotherapy, while only a fraction of them have the necessary experience and knowledge to do it properly.

Used to treat smaller varicose veins and spider veins, sclerotherapy involves an injection of an FDA approved chemical into the vein that causes inflammation of the vein walls and causes the vein walls to stick to one another, collapsing the walls together. The veins close and fade from view, and eventually are absorbed by the body. The needle used is so thin, and the solution so mild, that discomfort is minimal. Small veins are effectively removed by sclerotherapy. To learn more, visit www.wearshortsagain.com

Not just varicose veins?

I have been treated over the course of several years for severe varicose and spider veins with sclerotherapy. At my last ultrasound, the varicose veins (all but one) had shown to be treated fairly successfully with the exception of a few ulcers caused by the meds. The spider veins are recurring and are matting. Due to deviousness on the doctor’s part and my loss of trust as a result, I am unwilling to go back to this particular clinic or any clinic associated with it. My question is: Is there a more effective treatment than sclerotherapy? Is there possibly an underlying medical cause as to why, despite treatment, my legs have continued to progress(like, potential heart problems, which run in my family)? I also have big veins all over my body but am lean and physically fit– is this normal. My legs ache often after not having injections for a few months. I am taking specific supplements to help deal with it and slow down progression. Any advice or info would be very helpful.
