How Long Before I See Asclera Results?

The time will vary from person to person.  However, results are generally seen within 4-6 weeks so don't get frustrated if you don't experience improvement in just one week.  That is common. Also, it is common to require more than one treatment to obtain desired results.

Dear patient, The puncture wounds usually go away in 5 to 7 days. I am quite concerned about your description that there is a mass the size on "an English Muffin".  Rarely, even in the best hands and most experienced surgeons, there could be a blood cloth or seroma (fluid collection). I strongly urge you to see the provider who did the treatment or another Dermatologist/Vascular Surgeon for an exam and possible Ultrasound. I hope this was helpful.

Thank you for your question. I would recommend following up with your provider. Leg vein therapy generally requires more than one treatment to get better results. I would recommend avoiding sun exposure to the area to prevent hyperpigmentation. If you're having any pain to the area, I would recommend seeing your MD to get treated immediately. I hope this helps.

I am a specialist in Asclera and Polidocanol injections for spider veins.  I tell my patients in Los Angeles (warmer climate) that it will take one to two months for the full benefits to show. 

Spider veins are not "dissolved" with sclerotherapy. The sclerosant injected causes the vessel lining to become irritated and disrupted resulting in a clottted vessel. The vessel and clot then need to be broken down by natural healing processes that may take several weeks to even a few months. If you have a mass or redness after any procedure it is best to follow up with your provider for a quick evaluation to make sure there is not a problem.
