I had asclera a week ago on my right thigh and the ONE spider vein I wanted dissolved is Still there and now I have a bunch of red puncture marks and a hard mass the size of a English muffin in the area. Are the puncture marks going to go away? Will the mass go away? And will the One main vein eventually fade? I'm worried I had someone who didn't know what they were doing. :-(
Answer: Time for 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.

Answer: Complications after injection of legveins with Asclera 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.

Answer: Asclera Results? 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.

Answer: Asclera treatments really do work well.
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.
