How Does Sclerotherapy Work?

Sclerotherapy works by using a solution called polidocanol that is injected directly into the vein. This solution causes the vein to scar which then forces blood to reroute to healthier veins. The scarred and collapsed vein is then reabsorbed into your tissue and eventually fades away.

The brand of polidocanol that we use at Prestige Aesthetics Clinic is called Asclera. Asclera is FDA approved, and is high quality and also consistent in giving patients great results.

Additionally our office also uses the 1064 laser to treat small veins by using the laser’s light to destroy unwanted veins without damaging the skin.

Gender can play a role as women are more likely to develop spider and varicose veins. Additionally, hormonal changes in women such as pregnancy, puberty, menopause and taking birth control in any form can cause a woman to develop these veins.

Age is also a factor that can play a role in spider and varicose veins appear. As your skin ages, the valves in your veins that regulate blood flow also age. These valves then sometimes allow blood to flow back into your veins and it will end up collecting instead of flowing to your heart.
Family Genes can influence whether or not you get these veins as well. If other members of your family have varicose veins or spider veins, then you are more likely to get them too.
