How Long Before Spider Veins Disappear With Asclera??

Question

I went in on 3/31 for Asclera injections on my right leg for very small spider veins. Four days later & the veins are still there & now I have red puncture marks.. It looks like the veins might be fading a little, but they havent disappeared like you see on tv, that's for sure... How long does it usually take? I'm wondering if the girl even got it right?

Everyone is different when it comes to how long it takes for spider veins they disappear after injections. For small spider veins I would give it at least a month before even look at my legs again. Some people can take up to three months by the time they go away.  It is also important to understand that after having an area treated, on average about 80% of those veins will fade. Most patients will require a touch up for any of these persistent, pesky  veins that stick around.

Larry S. Nichter, MD, MS, FACS · Answer

It can take 4 weeks up to a few months for treated spider veins to disappear.  Once the Asclera is injected into the vein it will start to destroy the inner lining of the vessel.  With compression the vessel will seal closed and no longer have blood flow.  Then your body will start to reabsorb the vein and this can take some time, depending on your age and health, and how big the vessel was.

Wear Venasmart compression stockings after injection and it is normal to see bruising for weeks after treatment. Best, Dr. KaramanoukianLos Angeles

The majority of individuals who receive sclerotherapy treatment will have good visual improvement of their spider or reticular veins. However, there is no guarantee that sclerotherapy will be effective in every case. Approximately 10% of patients who undergo sclerotherapy have poor to fair results. (“Poor results” indicating that the veins have not disappeared after six treatments.) In extremely rare cases, the patient’s condition may become worse after sclerotherapy treatment.The number of treatments needed to clear or improve “spider veins” differs for each person. It can range from one to six, with the average number being three or four. Often 20%-60%  improvement can be seen with each treatment.

It can take a few months to see the full results after Asclera.  Make sure you go to a very experienced dermatologist to ensure you get the best possible results.

Hello,  Everyone responds to treatment differently. On average people treated with Asclera can expect to see improvement in 6 weeks. Many people will require 2 - 4 sessions for optimal results.

Albert Malvehy, MD · Answer

You will continue to see improvement for up to three months depending on the size and location of the vein and how quickly you, in particular, heal. Veins around the ankle take the longest.

Susan Fox, DO, RPVI · Answer

It is normal to see red marks where the injections occurred and it can take several sessions for the veins to go away completely.  We usually say 40 to 60 % of the veins go away each time and that it can  take 4 to 6 week for the veins to resolve after treatments.  This is not abnormal and I would give it some time, wear compression hose and follow up with your physician in a few weeks

Shaun Patel, MD · Answer

Generally it takes about 1 month before the veins have completely disappeared. It is important to wear sunscreen during this time to help prevent hyperpigmentation. Avoiding the sun is probably best, but that is not always feasible. Remember, it will look worse before it gets better, but it will get better.

Michael Nguyen, MD · Answer

After sclerotherapy the veins often look worse before they get better. After injection into the vein I see a red, inflammatory response along the path of the vein. After a few says the red will become brown and eventually fade away with no veins left underneath. Usually after a month everything is gone. It is important to wear compression stockings for at least a week to help the healing process.
