37 Years Old 3 Kids Finally Decided to Do Something About my Vein-y Legs! Woodland Hills, CA

ORIGINAL POST

I hate my legs! I want to be able to use shorts...

I hate my legs! I want to be able to use shorts again without feeling completely self conscious. Today I had my treatment. I think I feel a little bit of buyers remorse. I bought 1 cc of Asclera vein treatment for $99 via Groupon. After the evaluation the PA said we needed to focus on one leg at a time. Then she said she would need to inject 4cc but that would only cover one vein that was about 6 inches long located in the back of my knee. I paid an additional $300. Now I don't know if this was true or if I was overcharged. I've been reading other reviews where the cost was about that much but it covers both legs and as many veins as possible.

Did you like the results? Are they permanent? Was it painful?

Sorry for the delay. For some reason i never saw your comment. :( I'm not sure if I like the results, I guess the answer would be no because in my opinion you either love it or u don't. Everything I've read says that although the treated vein will not appear again others can. As for the pain, it was manageable, you definitely feel the prices of the needle and at times the solution can burn a bit. I never went back. I still was to continue with this treatment but at a normal doctors office, not a beauty spa.

Thanks for starting a review and for adding some pics- I can see a difference between your two pics.  Let us know if it continues to get better!

I had spider treatment and I paid $450 for both legs, it took 3 wks before I could see just a small improvement. It's been 3months and I can now see a big improvement but am now fighting to get the injection marks to fade away. Any suggestions on how I can get the injection marks removed? Thank you

I can't say I love the results, I still have bruising on that vein even this long after. Does anyone know if this will go away? ????. I've read it could be a while. I never went back for follow-up treatments. Suddenly I felt insecure about seeing a Physician Assistant. I'm going to be reaching out to a place called West Medical. They are advertising vein treatments and I'm intrigued. ????

West Med Acceptance Insurance in their procedures start at about $10,000 I went there for a consultation a few years back but I could not afford the $2,500 deductible on my insurance at the time
