What Is Sclerotherapy
Sclerotherapy is a minimally invasive treatment used to improve the appearance of spider veins and certain small visible leg veins. During treatment, a solution is injected directly into the targeted vein, causing it to collapse, close, and gradually fade as blood is redirected through healthier veins. Asclera, a polidocanol injection, is FDA approved for uncomplicated spider veins and reticular veins in the lower legs.
At VIOSA Aesthetics MD, sclerotherapy is a personalized option for patients who want smoother looking legs and a more refreshed appearance without surgery.

Science & Safety Of GLP1s
Sclerotherapy works by introducing a solution into the targeted vein that irritates the vessel lining, causing the walls to seal together so blood can no longer flow through that vein. The vein then collapses and is gradually reabsorbed by the body. Sclerotherapy is considered a standard treatment choice for spider leg veins, but proper patient selection, technique, post treatment instructions, and medical oversight are important to support safe care and strong outcomes.
