Sclerotherapy Training

A Tried and True Procedure
Sclerotherapy (pronounced sklair-o-THAIR-uh-pee) is a medical procedure that has been used since the 1930s6 to treat varicose and spider veins. As the standard of care, it is considered one of the most effective treatments for removing unwanted leg veins.

The procedure involves injecting a solution directly into a vein, causing the treated vein to seal shut and fade from view over time. The treated blood vessel (vein) is then naturally resorbed by the body.

Asclera® is a solution used for sclerotherapy to treat two types of veins in the lower extremities (≤ 3 mm) and has anesthetic properties that may help to reduce procedure discomfort.

Marketed as Aethoxysklerol in Europe for more than 50 years, Asclera® was FDA-approved in the US in 2010.
