Several studies were performed to identify the ideal number of sessions required for an Emsculpt treatment. They looked at patients who underwent 4 sessions as well as 6 and 8 sessions. While 6 consecutive sessions (spread out over 3 weeks) showed a small additional benefit over the results of 4 sessions, 8 consecutive sessions (over 4 weeks) did not show a significant difference. The treatment is actually still working 12 weeks out. However, there is definitely a benefit to do a single additional session about 3 months out and quarterly thereafter. But, for best results, keep working out and squatting to help your results along! Best of luck!

Thank you for your question.

We routinely use both Asclera and STS in treatment of spider and varicose veins.  If a severe allergic reaction is reported to one, we do not use the other. While I prefer Asclera over STS (for less pigmentation changes), I would not recommend  its use if you had an anaphylactic reaction to STS. 

I would consider hypertonic saline or if your veins a small and isolated, laser treatment. 

I hope this helps.
