Sclerotherapy

Sclerotherapy is a medical procedure used to treat varicose veins and spider veins. During the procedure, a solution is injected directly into the affected veins, causing them to collapse and eventually fade away. Sclerotherapy is a minimally invasive procedure that is typically performed in a doctor’s office or clinic and does not require anesthesia. It is a safe and effective way to address unsightly veins, improve circulation, and relieve symptoms such as pain, swelling, and cramping. While some patients may experience mild discomfort or bruising after the procedure, most are able to resume normal activities immediately. Overall, sclerotherapy is a popular and well-established treatment option for those looking to improve the appearance and function of their veins.

  1. Hypertonic Saline – Hypertonic saline is a powerful medical treatment that can significantly improve the quality of life for individuals suffering from respiratory conditions. By using a saline solution with a higher salt concentration than normal saline, hypertonic saline works by thinning the mucus in the airway walls, making it easier to cough up. This treatment is particularly effective for individuals with conditions such as cystic fibrosis, bronchiectasis, and other lung diseases. By reducing the frequency and severity of respiratory infections and improving lung function, hypertonic saline can help individuals breathe easier and live more comfortably. Moreover, this treatment is safe and can be administered at home under the guidance of a healthcare professional. Overall, if you or someone you know is struggling with respiratory conditions, hypertonic saline is a valuable treatment option that can bring significant benefits and help you lead a healthier, more fulfilling life.

Sclerotherapy

Sclerotherapy is a medical procedure used to eliminate varicose veins and spider veins.

It involves an injection of a solution, such as Asclera, directly into the vein irritating the interior walls of the vein, causing them to constrict and close.

This prevents the flow of blood through the affected vein and can effectively eliminate the swelling, bulging, discomfort and discoloration, which may be caused by small varicose veins or spider veins.

Sclerotherapy With Asclera Or Polidocanol What Is Asclera?

Asclera Injections is an FDA-approved prescription medicine that is used in a procedure called Sclerotherapy and is administered by a healthcare provider to treat two types of veins:

  • Uncomplicated spider veins (very small varicose veins < 1mm in diameter)
  • Uncomplicated small varicose veins (1 to 3 mm in diameter) known as reticular veins

What Is Sclerotherapy?

Sclerotherapy is a minimally invasive procedure to treat uncomplicated spider veins and uncomplicated reticular veins.

The treatment involves the injection of a solution into the affected veins.

 

How Does Asclera Work?

Asclera is a sclerosing agent that is injected into the veins. It works by damaging the endothelium, the cells lining the inside of the 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.

How Long Is Each Sclerotherapy Session?

A typical sclerotherapy session lasts 15 to 45 minutes. One injection is usually administered per inch with multiple injections per session.

Your healthcare provider may recommend that you wear compression stockings following the treatment.

What Should I Avoid After Receiving Sclerotherapy?

For two to three days following the treatment, avoid ( if you are uncertain, please ask your healthcare provider):

  • Heavy exercise
  • Sunbathing
  • Long plane flights
  • Hot bath or sauna

You should tell your doctor about all the medicines you are taking, including:

  • Prescription and nonprescription medicines, vitamins and herbal products

Are There Any Possible Side Effects To Sclerotherapy?

YES, they may include:

  • Severe allergic reactions have been reported following polidocanol use, including anaphylactic reactions, some of them fatal. Severe reactions are most frequent with use of larger volumes ( >3ml). The dose of polidocanol should therefore be minimized. Be prepared to treat anaphylaxis appropriately.
  • In rare cases formation of small “burns” or ulcers form, usually due to leakage of Asclera into the skin. They heal in time, but may leave a scar.
  • Inadvertent perivascular injection of Asclera can cause pain. If pain is severe, a local anesthetic (without Adrenaline) may be injected.

You Should Not Be Treated With Sclerotherapy If You:

  • Have a known allergy to polidocanol
  • Have an acute thromboembolic disease
  • Are pregnant or nursing

Asclera is not recommended for use in children younger than 18 years of age.
