Asclera®
Sclerotherapy Using Asclera™ to Treat Spider or Small Varicose Veins
At Athens Vein & Aesthetics we offer Sclerotherapy using Asclera™ (liquid and foam) to treat spider veins and small varicose veins.
This minimally invasive technique injects the FDA-approved medicine into the affected veins using a fine needle.


Dr. Chris Malone
“Because Asclera™ is a walk-in/walk out treatment for spider veins, hand veins, and vulvar veins, most patients report only minimal discomfort from the injections.”
How Does Asclera™ Work?
The solution irritates the vessel’s lining causing it to inflame and harden.
The body then breaks down the damaged vein, absorbs it, and in most cases, the vein eventually fades away completely.
Blood is then circulated through healthy veins located deeper in the body. Appearance and any pain related symptoms may be significantly reduced.
We do offer the Pro-Nox Nitrous Oxide System for pain and anxiety relief.
Athens Vein and Aesthetics is one of the few practices in the area offering this combination of oxygen and nitrous oxide which is effective enough to ease your pain and anxiety without additional medication.


Our vein specialists use state-of-the-art diagnostic tools to determine your eligibility for the procedure.
Just like with any medical procedure, there are associated risks and complications with Asclera™. Once we have a full assessment, we review your medical history to rule out other conditions that could present any risks.
Is Asclera™ Right for You?
We’ll make sure you’re fully informed regarding the potential complications associated with the Asclera™ procedure.
During your initial appointment, our providers will help you determine if the Asclera™ procedure is the right option for treating your chronic venous insufficiency.
