Sclerotherapy (Unwanted Veins)
Diminish unsightly spider and bluish-green veins with Sclerotherapy at MOY MD. Achieve smoother, clearer legs with this safe and effective treatment.
What Is Sclerotherapy?
Sclerotherapy is a highly safe and effective method specifically designed for reducing the appearance of uncomplicated spider veins and slightly larger, often bluish-green veins that commonly appear on the legs. The problematic veins are precisely identified, and a specialized sclerosing agent called Asclera is injected into one or more of these vessels. Asclera works by gently damaging the inner walls of the blood vessel, which triggers platelets to attach to the damaged lining. These platelets then form a clot within the vessel; subsequently, the treated vessel begins to shrink down, eventually being naturally absorbed and eliminated by your body.

Benefits of Sclerotherapy
Sclerotherapy offers numerous and significant benefits for individuals seeking to improve the appearance of unwanted leg veins, providing a safe and effective alternative to more invasive procedures. Beyond the obvious aesthetic improvement of diminishing visible spider veins and unsightly bluish-green vessels, this treatment contributes to a greater sense of confidence and comfort in one’s skin. Patients often feel more at ease wearing shorts, skirts, or swimsuits once their legs appear clearer and smoother. The procedure is minimally invasive, typically involving small injections with little to no downtime, allowing you to quickly return to your daily activities.
How Sclerotherapy Works and Treatment Details
Sclerotherapy works by introducing a sclerosing agent, Asclera, directly into the targeted unwanted veins. Asclera is an FDA-approved solution that irritates the lining of the blood vessel. This irritation causes the vessel walls to swell, stick together, and ultimately seal shut. Over time, the treated vein collapses and is reabsorbed by the body, effectively disappearing from view. This process reroutes blood flow to healthier, functional veins, improving the overall appearance of the treated area without negatively impacting circulation.
During your treatment session at MOY MD, your provider will meticulously identify the veins to be treated. Using a very fine needle, the Asclera solution is precisely injected into the problematic vessels. The number of injections required depends on the size and number of veins being treated. The procedure is generally well-tolerated, with most patients experiencing only mild discomfort. Following the injection, compression stockings are strongly recommended. These stockings apply continuous pressure to the treated veins, helping to keep them closed and preventing blood from re-entering, which enhances the effectiveness of the treatment and reduces potential side effects like bruising.
Your Consultation for Sclerotherapy
During your personalized consultation for Sclerotherapy at MOY MD, your provider will conduct a thorough assessment of your leg veins to determine if you are a suitable candidate for the procedure. We will carefully examine your spider veins and any slightly larger bluish-green veins, and discuss your medical history to ensure your safety and eligibility. This comprehensive evaluation is crucial to confirm that Sclerotherapy is the most appropriate treatment for your specific type of unwanted veins and to rule out any underlying conditions like large, painful varicose veins, which require different interventions. Our goal is to develop a customized treatment plan that effectively addresses your concerns and helps you achieve smoother, clearer legs.
You may be an excellent candidate for Sclerotherapy if you are bothered by the appearance of uncomplicated spider veins or smaller bluish-green veins on your legs and wish to reduce them safely and effectively.
