About Asklerol 3% Injection

Asklerol 3% Injection is a specialised prescription injection used to treat uncomplicated spider veins and small varicose veins in the legs. It serves a clear medical purpose by closing off these swollen, twisted blood vessels to reduce their appearance and improve local circulation. This clinical procedure, known as sclerotherapy, is performed safely in a doctor's office.

Because Asklerol 3% Injection is given during a scheduled clinical procedure, it is not a daily treatment. Your doctor will determine the number of sessions you need based on the size and number of veins being treated. There are no food restrictions before the injection, but wearing compression stockings and walking daily after the treatment are essential lifestyle steps to help achieve optimal results.

While the procedure is highly effective, it may cause mild local side effects like temporary bruising, redness, or warmth at the injection site. However, you must contact your doctor immediately if you experience severe pain, open sores, or signs of tissue damage near the treated area. Your healthcare provider will monitor you closely during and after the injection to ensure your safety.

Before starting this treatment, talk to your doctor if you have a history of blood clots, poor circulation, or severe allergies. Do not take this if you are bedridden, have an active deep vein blood clot, or suffer from severe uncontrolled systemic illness. These conditions increase the risk of serious complications from the injection.

Be sure to tell your healthcare provider about all medications you take, especially blood thinners or hormone therapies, as they can interact with the treatment process. If you are pregnant, breastfeeding, or an older adult, consult your doctor to evaluate the risks and benefits before scheduling this procedure.

Uses of Asklerol 3% Injection

Your doctor may prescribe this medicine to treat several conditions, including:

  • Varicose veins: Asklerol 3% Injection is injected to treat uncomplicated, small varicose veins in the legs, helping to shut down swollen, malfunctioning veins and redirect blood flow.
  • Spider veins: Asklerol 3% Injection helps clear tiny, dilated blood vessels near the skin's surface, reducing the web-like red or blue lines on your legs.

How Asklerol 3% Injection Works

Asklerol 3% Injection works as a local sclerosing agent that targets the inner lining of diseased blood vessels. When injected directly into a varicose or spider vein, the solution causes immediate, controlled damage to the cells lining the vein walls. This damage triggers a natural reaction that causes the vein walls to swell, stick together, and close off completely, stopping the flow of blood through that vessel. Over the next few weeks, the closed vein turns into a small band of scar tissue that your body naturally breaks down and absorbs. Your blood flow is safely and automatically redirected through healthy, deeper veins nearby, resolving the localised swelling.

Diet & Lifestyle Advise

  • Walk regularly: Walk for at least 15 to 30 minutes every day after your treatment to maintain healthy circulation and reduce the risk of blood clots.
  • Avoid intense exercise: Skip high-impact workouts, heavy weightlifting, and running for the first week post-procedure to prevent excess pressure on the healing veins.
  • Elevate your legs: When resting, prop your legs up on pillows above the level of your heart to assist blood flow back to your heart and reduce leg swelling.
  • Avoid high heat: Steer clear of hot baths, hot tubs, saunas, and prolonged sun exposure on your legs for at least 48 hours, as heat can cause blood vessels to widen again.
